This story shows children that need to take time to learn about other people and give them a chance to be friends. I attached a digital version of this book from Story Line Online. Children really enjoy seeing the pictures come to life and hearing a celebrity read the story. I want you to think of someone you would want to give Enemy Pie to. What is it that you don't like about that person? Is it something you could look past to create a friendship?]]> 2017-05-03 19:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ejames9/sa7lzboacqs7/wish/169775326 ejames9 https://padlet.com/ejames9/sa7lzboacqs7/wish/170315631 by Shane DeRolf

This nonfiction text discusses how children can be friends and how those friendships can affect your feelings, good and bad. The text also gives ideas on how to change those feelings and continue to be friends. In the picture of this text we see the emotions the children feel when things don't go their way. Have you ever felt like them? How did you react?]]> 2017-05-06 16:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ejames9/sa7lzboacqs7/wish/170317348 ejames9 https://padlet.com/ejames9/sa7lzboacqs7/wish/170318393 by Audrey Penn

This brain pop video is a great resource for children to learn about being a good friend, making friends and communicating with friends. This website also offers the opportunity for teachers to give students a comprehension quiz, play a game and many more fun activities!]]> 2017-05-06 17:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ejames9/sa7lzboacqs7/wish/170321597 ejames9 https://padlet.com/ejames9/sa7lzboacqs7/wish/170384230 To continue this topic and encourage children to make new friends, inside and outside the classroom I want to encourage them to sit with someone different at lunch or play with another friend at recess. I would also have students record those interactions in a journal and see how many new friends they can acquire in a week. Sharing out these journal entries at the end of the week could potentially inspire them to continue these actions.]]> 2017-05-07 19:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ejames9/sa7lzboacqs7/wish/170384230
