At our elementary school, each kindergartener is paired with a 6th grade buddy. At least, I think each one is-- I hope it's not a special kids thing. Anyway, the sixth graders come down to their class and spend time reading and doing projects with them; it seems to happen monthly.
Today he brought home a Happy Thanksgiving card from his buddy, we'll call him George. George says nice things about my son being funny and such. It's really sweet, and I can tell that my son really looks up to him.
What I wonder is, does George really like my son? Or is it some sort of set up or threat? If they met in the hallway, would he say hello? Or is it just a class assignment.
I'm sure it doesn't matter at all to my son, and he benefits anyway. I just wonder if it's as fun being a buddy as having one.

i think the 6th graders enjoy it, and kindergarteners are still small enough and cute enough to be said hello to in the hall without making a 6th grader feel nerdy. and who wouldn't love your little man?!?
