Friendship Journal

About this Resource

This sentence set supports students’ understanding of concepts around friendship. Before students begin the activity, the teacher can begin with a story about friendship (Have You Filled a Bucket Today?, Enemy Pie). Next, the class can brainstorm together words that describe what a good friend might look like. Teacher may ask students for specific examples of what a friend might do and not do. Using Clicker Sentences, students can either work individually or in pairs to create a journal of a time when they were being a good friend. Primary grades 1 & 2.
