Buddies: Younger or Older?
by Allison E. and Lucy L.
As you know, Kindergarteners have 3rd grade buddies, 2nd graders have 5th grade buddies and 1st graders have 4th grade buddies. In 3rd grade you get a younger buddy for the first time! We interviewed Jonah from 2-225 and Jack L. from 3-204 and they told us the scoop on having a younger or older buddy!
First, we asked Jonah if he liked his new buddy. He told us that his buddy was very nice to him and always said hi.
We asked if he liked having an older buddy. He told us that he liked having an older buddy because they would always help him out and be super nice to him. He told us he thinks that he prefers to be the younger buddy.
Next, we interviewed Jack L. from class 3-204!
We asked if he liked having a younger buddy and he said for the first time in 3 years he felt awesome being in charge! We also asked if he preferred being the younger or older buddy. He told us that he liked being the older buddy because it was fun to be taking care of a younger buddy for the first time!
This shows that some students like having a younger buddy better than an older buddy but others like having a older buddy than a younger buddy!
Q: What’s better, a younger buddy or a older buddy?
A:IT’S A TIE!!!!
