They were buzzing with excitement after meeting their Young 5's Buddies today! It was wonderful to see them interact with kindness and caring on the playground this morning.
This afternoon we adventured out to explore "the big hole". Young 5's is inquiring into different kinds of holes and we are inquiring into water resource use. A win-win! The 5th graders and Y5's worked together to create a map of the drainage area. I heard 5th graders ask questions to engage their new friends in inquiry such as, "What do you notice?" "How can we draw that?" "Why do you think that is?"
Our 5th graders are already asking when they can spend time with their young friends again!
