Back to school time comes with a lot of anxiety for children and teachers alike. One of the biggest concerns we have is whether or not people will like us. We often times take for granted that everyone knows how to make friends, but this simply isn't the case. If you scroll through the pictures below there are a ton of books with a back to school "friend" themes. I was hoping I could find enough options that you would have something ready to go in your library. Once you have a book for a read aloud, consider having a lesson with your class on making friends. The anchor chart below includes touching points. This would be a great time to teach the students about think-pair-share. You could have them think about questions, turn to their partner and get to know them. Administration will be as pleased as punch when you show them you can teach social skills, procedures and tie them all into a standard at one time. You are that amazing! For additional ideas, watch the video at the end!
