Mrs. Tomadakis' Class with their Kindergarten Buddies

Submitted by trisha.olsen on

One of the highlights of the week for our sixth graders is when they get to go down to Kindergarten and be with their Kindergarten Buddies  This is Mrs. Tomadakis' class helping in Mrs. D'Haenen's Kindergarten class.  The sixth graders get to help with various projects while in the classroom.  Sometimes they do art, or writing or read a book with them.  The sixth graders enjoy helping the Kindergarten students learn and excel.  It is a fun way for the sixth graders to interact with younger students in a positive and uplifitng enviroment.  The Kindergarten students think it's way cool to have an older student as their friend.  Sometimes you see the older kids saying, "Hi" to them passing in the hall and can see the Kindergarten student beaming because someone knows their name.
