1/2UR Berry Street

This week the students in 1/2 UR engaged in friendship building activities that helped them identify ways to communicate with others. Students took part in a special circle time where they shared examples of kindness and times when they made a new friend. 

The students also listened to a story about friendship called Kindness is Cooler Mrs. Ruler. They made connections to the story and expressed how it felt to include others and to feel included. The students brainstormed some kind words together on the board and role played how they could use these words when making friends. They then went off to create some friendship posters that included helpful reminders for students in the school about ways to be welcoming. 

The 1/2’s thought it would be a good idea to hang up posters in the classroom and around the school as a way to encourage building new friendships.
