Friendship Traits
As part of a class Guidance lesson, the students identified the traits of a good friend.... "is a good listener," "offers me help on a math problem," and "stands up for me." After watching the video, How Full is Your Bucket? for Kids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5R6-2m_qHk, the students worked with partners on their "Pick a Good Friend" worksheet.

Science Fun!
We have begun our Animal Classifications and Adaptations unit in science this year. After playing the online game, "Animals that Belong," http://sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/class.html, the children worked in pairs to categorize animal cards. They brainstormed possible classifications and then sorted the cards. Look how well they worked cooperatively together!
Working together to classify animals!
