Friendship Activity- 5th Grade Buddies

As you know, our class is learning about friendship. Today, we took it a step further to learn about others in the school that have similar areas of interest. Our class teamed up with Mrs. Jorjorian's 5th Grade Class for a buddy activity. We worked in small groups with our new friend to learn what we have in common with one another. This was a great team building activity because it helps our students feel a connection with older students in the school.
