Friendship in Focus: Students Wrote and Drew About Their Friendships
Stories and drawings about true friendship
Students had a special opportunity to express, through words and drawings, why their friend means so much to them. The theme of the class was “Why I Love My Friend”, and the results showed that even at an early age, children nurture empathy, gratitude, and mutual respect.

Friendship through Words and Colors
The classroom was filled with smiles, colorful papers, children’s thoughts, and heartfelt messages. Some wrote short essays, others drew scenes from the schoolyard – but all agreed that the best part of friendship is having someone who understands, supports, and always shares their snack. Their messages showed how simple, yet powerful, friendship can be.
Learning through Emotion and Experience
Activities like these help develop not only literacy and self-expression but also social skills that are essential for healthy development. Through the task “Why I Love My Friend”, students learned the importance of sincere communication, appreciation, and togetherness – values we nurture every day, both through teaching and the relationships we build in the classroom.
