• Choosing a Good Friend
• Finding Common Interests
• Being a Good Friend/Inclusion
• Making Social Plans

This group promotes learning through a combination of explicit instruction, hands on activities, and peer interaction with other group members. Instruction is modified based on the language support needs of group members.
