Keeping the connection in friendship

Communication is the word this week. In this grouptime activity the children explored different ways of staying connected with our friends apart from playing.  Earlier on in our unit, Luka suggested that he likes to write letters to his friends. What a great way to give and receive friendship! The children tried different ways of communicating with their friends in school. Some wrote letters via snail mail, sent emails, and we played the telephone game to dramatize what it is like to be talking to a friend on the phone.  We talked about the importance of manners, being polite and use of kind and friendly words.

Today the children went for a walk to the nearest mailbox to send the special notes to their dear friends. Unfortunately, Luka was away last week when we started the activity. We'll make sure he gets to send his note too.
