Boulan Buddies

On Thursday we met with our Boulan Buddies for the second time.  Our buddies are in the "Effective Teens" class offered as an elective at Boulan Middle School.  The middle school students train and debrief weekly on how to be good mentors to the kindergarten kiddos.  Both Mrs. LaTarte and I have participated in this program the past 4 years and have found it to be very beneficial for both the kindergartners and middle school students. It is also fun to see some of our former students!  This week the buddies helped us with a Pete the Cat art/math project.  Pete was constructed completely out of the shapes we have been working on.  Students were able to make Pete's shoes any color.  The Pete the Cat stories has been a favorite in Kindergarten this year!
