Sixth Grade & Sixth Age Buddies

Last month my Advisory girls mentioned that they would love to do something with "little kids" at Calvert, so I emailed the 6th Age team to see if anyone was interested in partnering up to do an activity together. Mrs. Clark eagerly agreed and we arranged for her class to come over during our Advisory period today to make a Thanksgiving craft and share some sweets.

After getting matched with a new friend or two, the "big kids" helped the "little kids" write down things that they are thankful for on small foam leaf shapes with permanent markers. They then hot glued the leaves to tree branches to create "Trees of Thanks" that they can use for a Thanksgiving centerpiece next week! Both classes really enjoyed getting to know one another and we look forward to doing a winter activity together in January!
