In my Social Studies class everyone was assigned a first grade buddy from one of the local elementary schools. The first letter I ever got from my buddy was adorable. They were supposed to describe themselves. She mentioned that she had a little brother, liked to do karate (which I read as decorate) and that her name was Katie.
I am a frst gradr. I have one braothr. I like to play socr. But most of all I like to do crote.
On every letter she always drew pictures. On the first letter she drew a bunch of people that were doing karate. The last letter that she sent to me included the information that she was going to go to Disney World this summer and that it was going to be her first plane ride.
I am going to have so much fun this summer. I am going to disney world this summer and this will be my first plane ride. It will be fun.
At the end of the year, we went on a special surprise field trip to visit them. The kids were in gym when we got there, so we sat at their desks and waited for them to come back to class. They were very excited to see us, and Katie kept hugging me.

I think that she was trying to explain something to me.

This was one of my favorite things about 9th grade social studies.
