Middle School Buddies

The Ganon children got to meet their middle school buddies today.  The middle school buddies will visit our class once a month to participate in activities with the Ganon children.  This is usually many of the Ganon children's favorite day of the month.  They adore the special attention from the "bid kids".  Today we visited the gym for free play together.  At first, the big and little kids did a lot of running around and throwing balls.  After a short period of time, the big and little kids began making up games to play with each other.
