The new Friendship time was focused around including others in our exploration. Whether it be in an imaginary game, blocks, or at the water table we focused on modeling and 'inclusive behavior' (as opposed to exclusive behavior) using the Yeladim's toys to bring the concept to them in a very concrete way. As Dina & David were acting out some of the very scenarios that take place in our classroom Binyamin felt very sorry for Dina while she was describing her feelings when David said she could not join in his game, and jumped up to give her a hug. At the end Zev opened up and said that sometimes he is left out of his older brother's games at home. It was amazing to watch how the Yeladim analyzed the situation so objectively. It led to a great brief discussion.
