Buddies!

 We met our first grade buddies for the first time today!

 We will meet every Thursday...

 at 10:45 a.m.

 Sometimes we help the first graders with reading...

 and sometimes we help them with math...

 and sometimes we do projects just for fun!

 Today, for our first time together, each student colored in their name...

 adding some things to the picture that you liked...

 We talked...

 to learn more about each other...

 

before we left, we exchanged names tags..

 So Blaine took Jason's...and Jason took Blaine's...

 Room 5 will be great buddies for these little people...

 and hopefully we'll have a great time together...

 

Often times the buddies become close...

 and never forget who their buddies were that year...

 I guess I don't need to tell you who everyone is...

 since you can see their names...

 

Ms. W had previously outlined their names...

 so all we had to do was color them in...and add some extra pictures...

 How fun it is to be the 'big buddy'...

 to help teach these little first graders!

Unfortunately for Rose and Karli, Karli was absent today... so Mrs. J sat with Rose and colored Karli's name...

Here's to a great year with our buddies!
