⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Carolyn T. says, "My class and I enjoyed the lessons that went along with the book "Stick and Stone". The lessons went great with our friendship unit. What a great resource."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley B. says, "I loved this activity to pair with the book. I like to use sorting activities that can be used for the littles to get up and move during a lesson. This was perfect for that. The Friendship Pledge is great too and something I could leave behind in classrooms as a reminder of how to be a friend."
