The fifth graders are natural teachers and warmed up to the wiggly little kindergartners right away.

The fifth graders help the younger students find the restroom, open lockers that are stuck, and even find their classroom when they get turned around in the hallway. The kindergartners think that the fifth graders are kind of like super heroes, and the fifth graders don't seem to mind having a little friend that looks up to them!
