- 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 when the 5th graders meet with the kindergarteners and teach them lessons. Peekapak.com is a site we use to share stories with the kindergartener and it makes them very interested. We teach them life lesson like being honest and more.
- The goodness they get from this program is the lessons and stories they hear. We, the fifth graders, tell them stories and read stories from peekapak.com, which allows them to really think of what is right.
- It allows us to also learn. We may know a lot, but we actually realize things to about the stories we hear. Also, we become better planners because we plan all the time before we meet with the kindergarteners. We also become patient with our buddies.
- It was a little hard not to make it boring for the Kindergartener. Sometimes he would zone-out and we would have to get back in focus.
- I think the program needed more reflection on the Kindergartener. It is good for them to think about THEIR past experiences because it get them to think of what is right and what is wrong. It gets them to think if they made the right choice or lied and how it would make others feel.
- I think they do like the stories. My buddy was so tuned in on the stories and he was able to answer questions. He loved how the character acted because he could sometimes relate to them.
