A Friendship Garden

After talking with Debra Waranch, our Lower School Counselor, about the qualities a good friend exhibits, the girls made these colorful hands. On each finger of her hand, every third grader wrote a value or behavior that a good friend practices. When a few girls completed their hands, they thought of attaching them to the whiteboard with magnets. Within a short time, the hands became flowers as all of the girls displayed their flowers and drew trees, birds, clouds, and the sun to complete their garden. What a wonderful example of creativity and spontaneous collaboration!
