The Power of Words

Today we finished our role play activity with how to act appropriately and use our words effectively.

Mrs. Krugh also did an activity where she had a cutout of a girl that she crinkled up everytime someone did/ said something mean.  After all was said and done, she showed that even if you take back your mean words or apologize for hurtful actions, the doll could never really be unwrinkled or untorn.

It was a great way to illustrate the power of words.  Parents, ask your daughters how we demonstrated this same concept with toothpaste, too!!  ;)


Love, Miss Sheets, Mrs. Gasson, and Mrs. Krugh :)

Friendship Fouls

After yesterday's discussion on using our voice effectively, we wanted to practice a little more.  Today we acted out typical social situations, some where we were using our voice effectively, and others where we weren't.

To illustrate, we each got in groups to act out a situation.  The group had to demonstrate how to handle the situation without hurting anyone's feelings.  These included how to handle a friend who can be a "Queen Bee" (always wanting her way) and a "Back Out Friend" (the one who always changes her mind after making a commitment to spend time with you.

We closed with this quote to remind us how to be a good, kind friend and classmate.

 

See you next week!  Love, Miss Sheets, Mrs. Gasson & Mrs. Krugh :)
