Making New Friends in School and Beyond!
Posted by Faith BarbutoWhile we sometimes struggle to find enough time to meet, once we are together our PK and 5A buddies certainly are not lacking in enthusiasm. We started the year super exited to return to in person collaboration by reading books together! When my PK students wanted to learn more about the game 4Square, the 5th graders eagerly accepted the challenge! They researched the rules and how to play and demonstrated for us. They played along side us and I was so impressed with their patience and innovation! One idea Mrs Raggio and I wanted to execute was to write letters to a retirement home and establish some penpals. We did not have a list of who to write to so we decided to just send some out titled, Dear New Friend. Together the buddies wrote letters telling their prospective penpals a little about themselves and asking them some questions in hopes of getting a return letter. And we did! We were so excited to see the responses come in. With tears in our eyes we read how happy they were to get our letters! Hopefully this is beginning of a beautiful friendship.
