Today was Pink Shirt Day! We spent time talking about the importance of being kind. One activity that we did was creating ourselves. Then we read the story "Desmond and the Bad Word." In the story the main character learns that being mean to someone who is mean to you does not make you feel good. Then we switched our paper person with a friend. We said something unkind that was said to us or an unkind thing we have heard being said to someone else to the paper person. Next we crumpled the person because unkind things hurt. Afterwards, we tried to uncrumple the paper person. We couldn't! Just like when we say unkind things to a person, once the words are said they have an impact. Then we said kind things to our paper people. As a class we talked about how it made us feel. We agreed that we will NOT be a crumpling class.
