Reflect on the 7-8 times we worked with our KinderPals this year.
- What is the KinderPals Program?
- In what ways do you think the program benefits the kindergartners? Try to explain several with support.
- Why is the KinderPals program beneficial to 5th graders? Believe it or not, you should be getting something out of the program as well!
- What challenges did you experience in KinderPals this year?
- What improvements could be made to the program for next year?
- Do you think the kindergartners enjoyed the stories from Peekapak? Why do you think that? Do you have any evidence to support your answer?
- The KinderPals program is a program where fifth graders have a kindergarten buddy that they teach to do things like Honesty and Kindness.
- One reason I think this benefits the kindergarteners is because they learn how to be a good person. The reason I think this is because I know that learning things like kindness and honesty make you a better person, and things like that are what we teach them.
- I think KinderPals helped us too because we are also learning the things that we are teaching them.
- One challenge I had was getting my kindergarteners attention. They get easily distracted which makes it hard for us to get them to pay attention.
- I think that they should look at what kindergarteners pay attention to and make the program themed for whatever kindergarteners pay attention to.
- I think they liked them okay but not a lot. The reason I say this is because there faces didn't look very interested in it.
