Our friendship project is well underway once again, we will be revealing our secret friend just before St. Patrick's Day. March break would be a great time to get caught up if you've fallen behind. You should have 25 entries by March break.

Ideas for friendship books

1. draw a picture – something your secret friend would like – refer to their head for ideas
2. write nice things about your friend – remember to be specific
3. get pictures from the internet
4. cut pictures from old magazines or catalogs
5. something nice you saw your friend do
6. something you enjoyed doing with your friend
7. something your looking forward to doing with your friend
8. stickers
9. activities – dot to dot – colour by number – hand drawn or cut out and glued in
10. recipes
11. decorations
12. study aids – times tables
13. poems
14. riddles
15. jokes
16. tell about yourself
17. interesting quotes

Remember to use a wide variety of things in your book. It is important to add each day. The whole idea is to think about others and to know that someone is thinking nicely about you.
