Circle of Friends #3 - Expectations in friendship

 One day a child said, "If you don't give me it, you can't be my friend".

The Water group started an inquiry into the expectations of friendship. Are there rules of friendship?

We read the story The Little Red Hen. The children felt differently on whether the other animals should have helped or not but it was unanimous that the felt Little Red Hen should not share her bread. Below are some of the things they mentioned:

Aiden: The Little Red Hen can ask other friends to help her.
Natalya: It's okay that Little Red Hen didn't share because her friends didn't help.
Enxin: She could share if she wants to but she doesn't have to.

Both Jayla and Mila would share their bread if their friends didn't help make it.

The children had so much fun dramatizing the story that they wanted to make their own puppets for the story!
