This week in 1st grade, we focused on friendship skills. We watched a video on Friendship Soup and had a great discussion on what the "ingredients" are for a great friendship. (having fun, safety, trust, kindness). Then we read the book
Enemy Pie. The kids loved this story! It's about a new kid in town who is immediately put on the "enemy list".... the dad offers to make his special Enemy Pie to help with getting rid of the enemy - but the catch is that the two boys must spend the entire day together first! I loved seeing the "lightbulb" moment when the students realized that when the boys spent time together and got to know one another - they became friends!
