We are beginning our next unit (Friends). In this unit, students will be talking about friendship, how to be a good friend, and ways to resolve conflicts with friends. We will work on this unit through November and December with some Gingerbread Man stories read along the way in December.
Theme Concepts:
- A friend is someone we like and want to spend time with. Friends like to do things together. They enjoy each other’s company.
- We can have more than one good friend, and we might like to do some things with one friend and other things with other friends.
- Friends usually share with and help one another.
- Friends may have arguments and get mad at one another. Usually, friends work out their problems and continue to be friends.
- We can make new friends and also keep old friends.
