Today we met the students in Mrs. Garcia's class. We get to be their fourth grade buddies! Throughout the year, we will meet up with 1G and do activities, play games, and read together. Having buddies is so much fun and so valuable for the big kids and little kids! Here are some of the pictures of our ABC outside scavenger hunt we did to get to know each other.
