Another great book by the author Kevin Henkes is “Chester’s Way.” This is a story of a friendly duo who refer to themselves as "Peas in a Pod." The duo is challenged when a third character moves to town. Do they become a trio? Well, you have to read to find out... :)
This is one of my favorites to read to the class because it sparks a great discussion about friendship and the kids loved sharing stories of who they consider the other “Pea in Their Pod.” I did a great little craftivity with the class where we made our own Pea Pods. On each of the peas the students drew a picture and wrote a sentence of an activity that they like to do with their best friend.
The finished products look like this…
So cute!
