Mrs. Schulte’s Counselor Corner

This month the kindergarten students are learning about being a good friend. We are reading the book Stick and Stone and learning a friendship pledge. Being a good friend means something similar to being a buddy as we talked about last month. Being kind with our words and actions, being helpful, including others in play, being caring, thoughtful, and honest are all ways to be a good friend.
