The Cobra's and their 2nd Grade 'Mates'

The Cobra's met with their new 2nd grade 'Mates' for the first time today. The students from both grades really enjoyed their first official get together and it was a great success.

 The meeting of 'Mates' between the 2 grades is something that will continue throughout the year with the intention of fostering close relationships throughout our school community. The partnerships that were formed today will remain for the entire year.

It was clear today that the 6th graders will be positive influences for the 2nd graders and will assit them in their learning, while the 2nd graders will be a captive live audience for the 6th graders to present their writing and reading to throughout the year.

Hopefully with these new relationships formed, the school playground will feel like a welcoming place for all children, and if a child is feeling lonely or upset they now have an extra friend they can turn to.

A big congratulations goes to the 2nd and 6th graders for doing such a great job!!
