What Truly Matters...
Just as we did in third grade, students will learn friendship qualities (even more now) and discover which behaviors they "Must Have, Would be Nice, Don't Care, or Don't Want" in their relationships. We also will discuss the ways people connect (friends, classmates, and enemies) and some of the characteristics of each connection. Finally, we will spend time determining the difference between "toxic" cliques (has rules, a leader, and is exclusive) and "healthy" cliques (lets everyone join, no leader or rules). Peer pressure will also be touched on, knowing that it can heavily influence friendship choices.
