![]() As your children may have told you, we have been reading the classic novel Charlotte's Web written by E. B. White over the past two weeks. We have been talking and writing about the characters in the book, the different settings in the book, and how the animals and humans treat each other throughout the novel. Today we took the opportunity to talk about friendship and the way in which the characters in Charlotte's Web can teach us how to be better friends. As we completed the novel we created this mind map, or idea web, to remind us how to be a great friend. Ask your child to describe which characters were friends in the book and how they showed each other the kindness of friendship. For example, Charlotte and Wilbur were friends. Charlotte helped to save Wilbur's life, and in turn Wilbur helped Charlotte's children.
We will be keeping our friendship poster posted in the wall in the classroom so we can remind ourselves each day how friends treat each other. Feel free to take the time to also watch an old cartoon version of Charlotte's Web with your children as the visual story will help reinforce what we learned while we read the book.
