Friendship at Glen Lake

The students at Glen Lake and I will be spending lots of time this year hearing stories about friendship and practicing skills that help all of us in making and being a friend. The first story that we read this year was Jack's Talent. It's a story about a little boy on the first day of school who hears his classmates sharing something that they are good at doing. When it's his turn, Jack says he can't do anything special like his new friends. He remembers the names of all of his classmates and lists the talent each one of them shared. In the end, his teacher helps him realize that "remembering" the way he could about his new friends is also a very special talent. Check out a nice site to visit under Places to Visit: Jack's Talent
