Ever had your kids say “she’s my friend, you can’t play with her?” I think this happens so much in first grade. Children find a friend and then try to control who that friend plays with. As I was reading a few books from the library, I came across this book My Friend Fred by Hiawyn Oram.
It is a great story about a little girl and her dog and how she tries to keep her dog from playing with anyone else but her. I am going to use this book when I start to see my first graders not sharing their friends.
It’s such a cute book and will really hit home with the kids.
Hope you guys enjoy it. What are some books you use to deal with friendship problems in your classroom?
Thanks for sharing a new resource. I am always on the look out for ways to reinforce social skills.
