Our kindergartners are learning in Social Studies what it means to be a kind friend. After reading The Rainbow Fish, they discussed how kindness, generosity, and sharing can help friendships grow. Students then used watercolors to paint their own beautiful rainbow fish to remind them to always be kind and generous friends!
