Bounce Back, Social Relationships
This new summer series gives participants all the skills they need to be resilient and to “bounce back: from difficulties in life. Each session will feature an interactive learning component followed by fun themed activities and crafts to work on each life skill.
Today we identify “ingredients” for a friendship pie. All of our recipes may be different due to our preferences and interests, and that is ok! We will learn how to make and keep friends, and how to get along with people we do not like. The book “Enemy Pie” will help us understand what it means to be an enemy and how the character Jeremy became a friend. In the afternoon, we will bake a pie of our own.
