The 12 Keys to Friendship
Possibly some of the most timeless wisdom I give to students all year! During this unit we will discuss twelve different behaviors that will help them make and keep friends! Then, students will create their own key chain with each of the keys on it. Additionally, students will be able to give themselves grades on each of their skills, and set goals for themselves as well. Try using them at home as well!
