Even doodles on a notepad can help us learn about ourselves and others...

Please watch the following clips.  They were doodled by a teacher named Mr. Dusko. 
What is a friend?
Diversity? What's that?!?
True friends...
Including others...even when it's hard

Can you be a friend to someone starting today?  Click here to doodle a picture of you being someone's friend!

Can anyone be friends? Even a kangaroo and an elephant?!

Please enjoy the following video:

Are the kangaroo and elephant friends?  If so, what are the actions that makes them friends?  Is it okay to be friends with people who look and act differently than you?  Look on youtube.com or Google images to find a picture of "non-typical friends" to post here.  Maybe you could find a picture of a lion and a dog being friends! Or a old woman and a small boy being friends!  Whatever your imagination can dream is fine to post...friendships can be found anywhere!

What does being a good friend look like?




When thinking about friendships, sometimes it is easier to see what a good friend looks like.  In the above pictures, who is being a good friend?  Who is not being a good friend?  Which person would you like to be friends with and why?  Would you want to be friends with someone who pushes you?  Would you want to be friends with someone who shares with you?

Take my quiz about these pictures!
