Friendship Week
9/15/2017
Our Friendship week This week we explored what it means to be a good friend. We answered questions such as "How do friends share?" and "How do we treat each other at school?" During Morning Meeting, Read Alouds, Center Play, Small Groups, and our Closing Circle, we looked at the ways we interact and practiced being good friends. We talked about sharing and fair ways to play, using our words to be kind, listening when our friends are telling us something, and how to fix problems we may have with our friends. We made friendship cards, took turns playing follow the leader, and learned a new song which helped us practice asking friends "come play with me!" Friendship dough We used all of this discussion and learning to generate a list of the things (or ingredients) that make us good friend. On Friday we used this list to make friendship dough. Each item on our list corresponded to an actual ingredient for playdough. We started with old friends and new friends, added kindness, caring, and helpfulness. Next came the special ingredients of fun and love (Kool Aid!). Finally the last ingredient was using our words (water), which changed the friendship dough into a wonderful brilliant color! We talked about how when we use our words with our friends it helps us have more fun. Next WeekThis upcoming week we will be talking about when things happen at school (time) and who works at our school. We will be talking more in depth about our schedule and getting to know some of the other staff in our school that we see everyday, but don't get to visit as much.
