Friendship

Posted Date: 02/12/2025

Capitol students enjoyed learning about friends, being a friend, and friendship this month with Counselor Mrs. Barbara Utley. Second graders explored the characteristics that they believe makes someone a good friend. Then students listened to the story The LOVE MONSTER and the Last Chocolate by Rachel Bright to learn the value of thoughtfulness and sharing in a friendship. Classes then helped to create a poster of their own Love Monster with friendship attributes to hang in their rooms to help to remind them of how to be a good friend. Third & fourth graders brainstormed characteristics of being a good friend before reading the story The Sandwich Swap, in which they learned more about forgiveness and accepting others' differences and how they play an essential role in friendships. Students then grouped up to put together a mystery friendship word paper bracelet for the Capitol board. Thank you, Mrs. Utley for encouraging students to be a friend!
