Stallion Spotlight - K/4th Bruce/Putman Buddies

K-4th buddies

Mrs. Bruce’s Kindergartners and Ms. Putman’s Fourth Graders look forward to every Friday afternoon. That’s when they get to spend time as across-grade-level buddies. Initially, the buddies spent their time together reading for pleasure. Most recently, they’ve started researching how people live around the world, as part of the Kindergartners’ STEAM Unit. The countries they are highlighting are: China, South Korea, Iceland, and Ecuador. With a focus on empathy, they are asking questions such as, “How might I need to dress if I were a child living in this country?”  “What would I eat?” “What sports would I play?” ….. Their study will culminate on STEAM Day with the Kindergartners sharing a group-prepared visual, as well as the Kindergartners sharing a short, informative piece that they’ve written about their country of choice. The support, from Ms. Putman’s Fourth Grade buddies, has sure been impressive!
