Kindness / Friendship Unit

Today we started a new class unit on kindness and friendship.  We read six short stories and discussed whether the children in the scenarios were being kind or unkind.  We talked about kind ways to handle unstructured time like recess and PE, such as being selfless and inclusive.  This unit will take about three weeks and will wrap up right before Spring Break.  We will be reading several books to go along with our discussions and activities.  All of these books can be found in our bookshelf gadget on the left column of this blog (Shelfari).
