After making friendship salad, we went around the room looking for friends who liked some of the same things we like. Our friend signed our sheet and we signed our name under an item we like on their sheet. We completed our task and made new friends as well. Just click on the link below the photo to see a short video of our activity.
Friendship Salad Recipe
Fruit cocktail (representing kind kids)
Chunk pineapple (representing kids who work hard)
Peach chunks (representing kids who share)
Vanilla Yogurt (representing kids who fill buckets)
Mini marshmallows (representing happiness)
When each ingredient was described, the children agreed happily that we needed it in our classroom where we learn and play together. Finally, I showed a very rotten banana which represented behaviors such as name calling, bucket dipping, and kids who refused to follow the rules. The students all agreed that we do not want these behaviors in our Colony of Learners.
