The
children collected rocks from the forest and when we came in, all
four groups gathered together and listened to the story "Everybody needs
a rock" by Byrd Baylor.
They
all paid attention to the ten rules that were mentioned in the story
for selecting a rock and then each child picked one that looked special
to them from our pile, washed it, painted it and added features to it.
After exploring the different qualities found in a friend, the giving
and receiving, and the expectations of friendship, the children were
asked the following questions:
* Tell me about friendship in your life
* Who are your friends and why?
* Tell me a time when you gave friendship? (What did you do for a friend?)
* When did you receive friendship? (What did a friend do for you?)
The children can take their pet rock home as soon as they are done with their card and picture.
Enjoy,
Anamaria
