Friendship Club is what I call my small groups. This is where we learn how to make & keep friends and talk more deeply about the Virtue of the Month (EAFK). I try to keep the groups between 4-6 students, in the same grade level, so we can really focus on the material and have meaningful conversations. We usually start with a check-in, read a book, followed by an activity, and an opportunity to socialize and practice the social skill we just learned! Topics can range from feelings, what to do with our feelings, how to ask for help, how to share, how to accept and say No, and the Virtue of the Month – it really depends on the needs of the group! Friendship Club lasts for 4 weeks (30 minutes, every other week); after that, a new one starts! If you are invited to Friendship Club, you’ll receive a blue permission slip from either me or their teacher – once signed you’re in!
