Kinder buddies

We currently have 3 kids at one school, which is just down the street from us, and it's awesome. A few fun coincidences have worked out for us this year:

1) Emily and Elinor's classes are both piloting a new science curriculum, and are the only two classrooms in the entire district doing this.

2) Caleb and Elinor's classes have been matched up for 2nd grade - kinder buddies, so Caleb and Elinor are often paired up to work on projects together.

Today was the 100th day of school, so 2nd grade buddies came in to work on a craft with the kids. Elinor was thrilled to be able to work with Caleb.

I love that the kids are so excited to work together, especially because I know it could go the other way too.
