Back to School Read Alouds- Friendship

It is back to school time again. Wow! Where does the time go? I know that the first few weeks can be jam packed with ALL THE THINGS. The best part though is building the classroom community. I could chat about this for years, but I won't- this post is about Friendship read alouds! 

Especially after the weird, crazy year we had during the pandemic we have a lot of kids coming back to school for the first time in a long while and  might need a refresher on how to be collaborative and cultivate friendships. 

So I gathered up a couple of my favorite books that have the theme of friendship and would be super to integrate and weave into your B2S reading. I mean these can always even be used at other points in the year when we might need to revisit how to be a friend you know? 

Now this is no way an exhaustive list of amazing books on the topic of friendship, so if you don't see one here that you just love feel free to drop it in the comments! That is the great things about books- there is ALWAYS just one more you can LOVE. #takeallmymoney

-Strictly No Elephants

-You Will Be My Friend

-Carrot & Pea

-Pout Pout Fish in the Big Big Dark

-Friends

-Porcupine Named Fluffy

-Disappearing Desmond

-Horsefly and Honeybee

-Copy Cat

Don't forget that read aloud time can be done just for fun and enjoyment, but also there are many wonderful ways to utilize it in a super intentional way. Make sure to weave both intentions in throughout the year. 

Have a BLESSED week!
