 We all know that if we want to learn something, we can always ask a 5th grader. To that end, our 5th grade students were the teachers yesterday afternoon, as they each took a Kindergartner under their wing for a pattern hunt. Each Kindergartner had their own personal 5th grade buddy to walk with them and their iPads around the school to find patterns. They helped the Kindergartners describe the patterns they saw and helped them take photos of each pattern. Afterwards they came back to the classroom and helped their buddy recreate one of the patterns they photographed using Draw Free. Be sure to check out the videos below the slide show, too!

What great collaboration! I am working with fifth grade students in creating the alphabet on their ipads by searching for letters within the environment. I may have them buddy up with kinder to share the learning. Thank you!
Thanks, Laura!

This was a magical afternoon for our 5th graders. Our students commented "This was the best school day ever! When can we do this again!" 10/2/2013 02:17:01 am
I agree, Joelle! The magical feeling within the students was felt by the adults, too!
