Grade five is making a buddy system!
What is a buddy system? The buddy system is a special system were Grade five helps kids on the playground who get excluded. We will be helping kids with assigning him/her a buddy. How do you know if your child needs a buddy? For example, a kid on the playground wants to play football. he/her ask the other kids if they can play but the other kids say “no, go away!!!” Then they start insulting him/her. Teachers may see this happening on the playground, but aren’t able to help with every case. Also, at home, your child/ren may tell you about these things happening. So now teachers and parents can contact Grade five to help your child/ren with these situations. How the buddy system works? Grade five will assign him/her a buddy. At every first recess the buddy plays avery first recess the play him/her jobs of a buddy playing avery first recess with the buddy,teaching him/her to make friends,if some one doesn’t lat him play to stand up-to him. |
The reason that young students may need a buddy is because they may feel excluded or have trouble fitting in.
Here are some solutions for avoiding exclusion. (SOURCE)
1.} Make sure you're not exaggerating. Often, you may think you're alone, when maybe your friends are sick or even feel the same way
2.}Try to become involved with people by asking "Want to do something this weekend?" or "Would you like to go to the movies with me?" (But never ask them 'what they are doing' and hint at the fact that you would like to be included).
3.} Message your friends something simple like "Hey, what have you been up to?" Or "I thought I'd text you because it's been a while". If they reply with a nice and friendly response, most likely they are feeling the same way. If they reply with a short or distant message, try making conversation with them. If they still don't respond as they would normally, don't push it.
4.} Organize a day out with friends, whether it's Ten Pin Bowling or Ice Skating or even the movies, something that everyone likes and that you can chat during or after. Be cheerful and happy towards your friends while you're out.
5.} If these people don't want to hang out, find other people to be friends with. The only way to make friends is by getting out and talking to people.
6.} If you cannot, then make other plans; get yourself occupied with something else. You can try the relaxation method, which would be to take a long bath, and make it really really nice with bubbles and everything. Also try watching a happy TV show. You can try the "busy" approach,which is by occupying yourself with jobs, like baby sitting. It would truly get your mind off the thing you're excluded from.
7.} Plan events for the future. Do not exclude your friends that didn't invite you, but just invite other people. It'll surprise them and show them that you have other friends, too.
8.} Do what makes you happy. Try self indulging, like getting your hair or nails done. Go shopping. Do something that will make you feel better about yourself.
9.} Also show people a unique trick or something you can do that someone else can't do, this will interest them more.
10.} Don't ever feel that there is something wrong with you because you are being excluded. You shouldn't try to change yourself for somebody else. It's the other person's problem, not yours.
11.} It could be that you and your friends need to be away for a while, but you will soon have the relationship you did before.
12.} Spend time with family! Talk on the phone to long-distance members.
