Friends

We have been talking a lot about friends today.  Here are some of our ideas.

"A friend is a person you are nice to," roared Ava.

"A friend is someone that you play with," babbled Amy.

"You don't hurt a friend,"  added Ethan.

"When a friend get's hurt, you help them," roared Jake.

"You don't be mean to a friend," grinned Collin.

"You should share with a friend,' rejoiced Natalie.

In our class we have started a friendship chain.  Each time someone is "caught" doing or saying something nice to another classmate, they get to put their name on a link of the paper chain.  


What is the nicest thing a friend has done for you?  

How can you be a good friend?

  1. The nicest thing a friend has done for me was give tons of support and help so that I could make varsity tennis. When I doubted myself, that person cheered me up and told me not to worry. He practiced with me so that I could get better. I am very grateful for it. You can be a good friend by always having a smile on your face and being nice to people. When your friend seems sad, you should ask him or her what is wrong and cheer them up. You should also be honest with your friends and help them when they need it.

  2. My friend Matthew took me to the nurse when I got hurt. I can be a good friend by doing stuff for them like taking my friends up to the nurse or sharing my toys with them.

  3. Friends should always make each other feel good about themselves and they should give each other support when they are worried about something. Friends should never tease each other and should always be nice. ~ Nina

  4. The nicest thing any friend has ever done for me was just being a good friend, someone that I could hang out with and have fun. I believe a good friend is someone who supports you through tough times and is there to enjoy the best of times with you.

  5. The nicest thing a friend has done for me was come and support me at my middle school graduation. Although they went to another school, they came and supported me because true friends support each other during bad times and good times. I could be a good friend by supporting my other friends and helping them make good decisions.

  6. The nicest thing a friend has ever done for me was stand up for me when I got in a fight with anyone. They were always there for support and it really made me feel a lot better having someone on my side. Ways you can be a nice friend are doing things such as, standing up for your friends, put them ahead of yourself, and of course, being kind to them.

  7. The nicest thing a friend has ever done for me was cheering me up after I was really frustrated. After I was really sad and upset, that friend came up to me and just talked to me and made me laugh. I felt so much better after he cheered me up, and he helped me through that tough time. I think that you can be a good friend by always being willing to help when a friend needs it, and always treating a friend with respect. In addition, you can be a good friend by being a kind and trustworthy person.

  9. The nicest thing a friend has ever done for me was two years ago on my birthday. I told her how I was having a bad day and how frustrated I was. So my friend told me to come over and hangout. As soon as I arrived I found four of my best friends greeting me at the door with a lit cookie-cake. They sang me "Happy Birthday" and spent the day with me. Things like that make a good friend. Someone who cares and wants you to be happy is a good friend. Friends will always be there when you need them most.

  11. The nicest thing a friend has ever done for me is, last year my two best friends met with my dad and put present after present after present into boxes, then finally all in one big box. The final supprize was that I got an ipad and I had to open like ten boxes to get to it.
    i know i am a good friend because my friends know they can call me anytime and i will be there to talk to them, i try my best to never let them down, and i dont talk behind their backs, i keep their secrets, give them advice and i can always cheer them up.

  12. The nicest thing a friend has done for me was on the last day of sixth grade. I was really sad because I was leaving the school and as I came out of my last class in tears, my friend had his arms open. He gave me a big hug and it made me feel so much better. I didn't know it then, but that was the best hug I had ever gotten, and the best thing a friend has ever done for me. You can be a good friend by always standing by your friend and supporting what they do. As long as you show you really care, you are a great friend.

  14. When I was in 5th Grade, I got very sick with pneumonia and had to miss two weeks of school. Some friends got together and made a huge packet full of get well letters from all my friends at school. It was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for me. To be a good friend, you must be nice to other people, try to make them feel better if they are sad and help them during difficult times.

  15. I truly believe that the base of friendship is made up of all the little things that friends do for each other. My friends listen to me when I'm upset, they support me in everything I do, and they can always make me laugh. I think that all the little things that friends do for each other show how much they care. To be a good friend you need to support your friends and want for them to succeed. When my friend with cancer got home from the hospital my friends and I showed him how much we missed and cared about him by throwing him a surprise party. It really made him feel like we would always be there for him.

  16. The nicest thing a friend has done for me is, being there for me when I feel bad. Knowing that I have a person to talk to and confide in makes all the difference to me. You can be a better friend by helping a friend of yours who is feeling bad and by letting him know that you are there for them.

  17. The nicest thing a friend has done for me was when my friend bought me a gift from her trip to Australia. I thought this was so sweet because she was so thoughtful and considerate. You can be a good friend by always sticking by your friend's side, being trustworthy and honest, helping your friend in a time of need, being a good listener, and being able to apologize. Friends will like you for who you are and they will always be there for you.

  18. The nicest thing a friend has ever done for me is help cheer me up when I'm down. My friends will always be there to back me up and support me no matter what. In order to be a true friend, you have to be honest, friendly, and supporting. You also have to be a good listener and help a friend out when they need it. A true friend will try not to ask anything of you, but what they can give to you instead.

  20. My two best friends always come to my soccer games to support me, and it means the world to me! I like knowing that I have two fans in the stands no matter what. Also, they make me laugh all the time and I think it's important for a friendship to thrive on laughter. Being a good friend just requires being there for each other, loving them no matter what, and making them smile.

  21. Sorry I'm late, but, better late than never!!

    My friend, Paige made me a gorgeous collage for my birthday two years ago. It is made from magazine cut outs and I love it so much. It has all of my favorite things on it. I hanged it on my wall right by my bed so every time i get out of bed i see what a great friend I have. She put so much time and effort into. I am so thankful to have all of the friends that I have. Every time I look at my collage I smile. :) Being a good friend means that you listen to your friend and what they have to stay. Sometimes you need someone to just listen to you feelings, and I know my friends will always be there for me!!
