On 9/23/2014, my teacher Shirley said that we were going to have buddies and I was so excited. If you don’t know what buddies are, they are when an older child from sixth- eighth grade is assigned to a younger child from pre-k to third grade. The sixth grade this year got paired up with the pre-k and the k.

When we got to the pre-k and k classroom, no one was there. All of the 4 and 5 year old kids were outside on the playground. As soon as we opened the door it was time to for the Pre-K and K kids to come inside. They all sat on the rug so our class joined them. When we were all seated the Pre-K and K teacher Amy asked us two questions: the first question was, What is your name? The second question was, What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

After everyone answered the questions we got to play in the room. I met a kid named Barley and he was really nice. We played with play-doh, went in the block area and did a puzzle. After that it was time to clean up and then go outside but first we had to go over to Shirley who told us who our buddies were.

When Shirley told me my buddy was Barely, I was sooo excited. When we got outside, Barley and I pretended to sell magic dust. We did that for awhile after that we pretended to be paleontologists and we looked for bones. When we did that, my friend Julian and his buddy Malcolm played with us. We did that for maybe ten minutes. After that we had to go inside and leave. So I gave my buddy a high-5 and left. I had so much fun that day.
