Schools and PTOs/PTAs

Are you looking for a fun, interactive way to help your students connect, express themselves, and build lasting friendships? My Friends and I is the perfect classroom tool to foster a sense of belonging, encourage self-expression, and create a warm, inclusive learning environment that strengthens the bonds within your classroom community.

How the My Friends and I friendship book transforms your classrooms:

• A fun and interactive "All About Me" experience. Like an engaging twist on All About Me posters, students fill out two pages about their favorite foods, hobbies, books, dreams, and more. Add a photo of each student for a personal touch, transforming the book into a classroom keepsake that students will treasure for years.

• Encourages friendships and meaningful connections. Keep the book in a shared space where students can explore their classmates’ pages during free time or indoor recess. This helps them discover common interests, spark new conversations, and build friendships in a natural, low-pressure way.

• Strengthens reading and writing skills. The repetitive question format reinforces word recognition, making it an effective tool for sight word learning. Seeing and using familiar words repeatedly boosts recall, fluency, and confidence. The short-answer format ensures every student can participate without feeling overwhelmed.

• Supports social and language development. Turn My Friends and I into an engaging peer-to-peer activity! Encourage students to ask each other the same fun questions found in the book, helping them develop conversation skills, active listening, and classroom camaraderie.

• Teaches friendship, kindness, and inclusion. This book isn’t just about fun—it’s a valuable tool for teaching social-emotional skills like kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. Use it to encourage discussions on what makes a great friend, how to celebrate differences, and how students can create a supportive, welcoming classroom community.

Whether you use it as an icebreaker, a team-building activity, or an ongoing classroom tradition, My Friends and I helps students feel seen, valued, and connected—all while building essential social, reading, and writing skills.
