Yaya helps the children realize that friendship is hard work and that friends can like different things and can even make you angry or hurt you, but they can still be your friends - if you work at it. On Being a Friend Children will learn that sometimes friends do things that disappoint you, but this does not mean that they cannot be your friends. Children will learn that good friends do not have to like or dislike the same things or people. Watch to see what kind of contest it is and who wins. Talk about what you've seen and take some time to discuss it.
None Have the children sit in a talking circle.
Ask them if they remember why Wimzie was angry at Jonas for choosing Horace's poem. Ask the children if they think that their friends should do everything that they want them to do. Have the children talk about the things they like to do. Use the foods they like and dislike to illustrate this point. Give each child a reproducible activity sheet.
