Last week the kindergarten classes came over to visit and see what it was like in first grade. My first graders did a fantastic job of being leaders and coaches. They were so kind to their kindergarten partner and taught them several games that we play and how we rotate and behave in stations. It was exciting for me to see my future students. It was a great opportunity for kindergartners to make a connection with a student that will be in lower school with them next year. This is one of aspects I love about St. James. The older students mentoring the younger students, even if there isn’t a huge age gap in between.
