Yesterday, the Oak class had a visit from their middle school buddies. The middle schoolers read books to their Oak friends. Then, the Oak children introduced loose parts play to the middle schoolers. The middle schoolers had some fun ideas for play with the loose parts, which the Oak children found amusing. It was another fun time bonding for the buddies.
