The wind group children drew some pictures of themselves and their friends and their task was to think of some characteristics that describe their friendship; their likes and dislikes, their way of giving and receiving friendship, etc.
Most of the children talked about the happy feelings that arose when friends are around. Esme mentioned how sometimes friends do make each other sad, but a hug or "I am sorry, is there anything I can do to help you feel better?" can change that feeling.
This shows an understanding that we live in a world of interacting systems where our actions can affect others.
In the end, we brainstormed qualities we find in our friends and wrote some friendship poems:
Esme: My friend is happy
She plays with me
and we like to have fun.
My friend is Sofia.
Grace: My friend is kind.
We sit together
We play together
My friend is Sofia.
Kesler: My friend is kind.
She shares
We play all the time
My friend is Adyson.
Andrea: My friend is hurt
I ran and got a band-aid
I cared for my friend
My friend is Esme.
Andrea's poem was inspired from her actions. When Esme got hurt, she rushed to her cubby to bring a band-aid for her. Her generous and kind action made the children point out how Andrea was caring towards Esme.
Esme showed her appreciation by saying "Thank you" to Andrea.
Enjoy,
Anamaria
