Mrs. Frost’s Preppy K class at Mabel Paine Elementary School has proven to be a great place for our fifth graders to reach out and show their gentler sides.
After visiting the library to select picture books to share, Mrs. Fouladi’s fifth graders visited their Little Buddies to share their finds. “It was so fun! I love Mondays now!” remarked one fifth grader. “Now I know what kind of book my Little Buddy likes. Next week, I’m bringing more Dr. Seuss!” remarked another.
In this quick 20-minute session, several fifth grade Big Buddies are paired with a Little Buddy, and they read a book together. The program has brought a greater sense of responsibility to our students’ time at school. Now, our fifth graders can’t wait until Mondays. Joining younger students with the older kids invites them out of their classrooms, which builds a strong community on our campus.
