Unit Friends and Family The Big Idea How do families and friends learn, grow, and help one another?

Together Is Better Baseball is no fun at all Without a friend to toss the ball. Camping out would be a bore Without your brother to hear you snore. Piano notes would sound all wrong. Without a friend to sing along. Ice cream would not taste as sweet Without your sister to share the treat. Cleaning up is hard to do Without your dad to help out too. From morning until the day is done Friends and family make things fun. by Constance Keremes
