When I was in college, I had the opportunity to volunteer in Mr. VanKampen's 5th grade class at NG. This year I am now teaching in the same building as Mr. VK and we thought it would be great for our students to meet and connect - his 5th graders and my kindergarteners.
Our first attempt at this was a success! The 5th graders came into my classroom to read their favorite stories to my students. My students loved this. Each child had a "buddy" and my students were so impressed by the 5th grader's fluency and expression. This was a great experience and so fun to watch. Now my students look for their 5th grade buddies whenever we're walking in the hallway.
Two buddies reading together.
