At PDS we have a buddy program. We buddy up with the kids in the lower school, like pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. We either play with them outside or inside or we read to them. This week we started out in their classroom in a circle, and we shared our names and our favorite flavor of ice cream. I said anything with sugar.

My buddy’s name is Mattie. He likes mine craft and he has a lot of energy, like me. When we met he was quiet for a little while we played inside. Then when we officially became buddies, he became a little more comfortable. He wanted me to chase him and then we turned it into a little game of tag, and it was really fun. We also played in the sand box, and Mattie pushed me on the tire swing and I went really high. It was so cool.

Mattie is nice. He is energetic and likes to play. He can be excited and than be quiet but he is always awesome. He reminds me when I was little. Outside Mattie did a lot of things, most of them included  including me chasing him or him chasing me, but he went on the swings, then he went in the sand box and he went on the jungle gym. He did everything. After our activity, I learned that I have an amazing buddy and I am going to have fun for the entire year.
