HOPPY Week

I wore Lyddie's Bunny Hat yesterday and we also shared DuBose Heyward's The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes.  We're thinking "synergy" and "choosing to be BRAVE" this week, all week long!  Hope your days are HOPPY!

Friendship Fun

Thanks to Mrs. Clark for sharing You Will Be My Friend by Peter Brown with PHES!  We had fun figuring how to make friends and be a friend today.  Here's some thoughts:

Jada & Bella (& Peter Brown)--Always be yourself.

Reece--Be nice

Ms. Arnette--Be careful about your approach .  .  .

Mrs. Broam--"It's not ALL ABOUT YOU!"  Be ready to play what your friend wants to play.

What other ideas do you have about being a good friend?

Here's some fun stories about friendship:

Bink & Gollie by Kate DiCamillo & Alison McGhee

George & Martha by James Marshall

Frog & Toad by Arnold Lobel

Hunter's Best Friend at School by Laura Malone Elliot

5th Graders are enjoying The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine--"Friendship is more than skin deep."
