Here is my last minute Unity Day necklace for the kids to wear tomorrow. I’m printing them on orange paper to coordinate with National Bullying Prevention Month.
I’m also planning to sing Red Grammer‘s classic “I Think You’re Wonderful”. Somehow I had never heard this sweet song until last week! It is perfect for building community. And super catchy!
I read Katherine Otoshi’s great book, One, the first week of school and I think tomorrow will be a great day to revisit it. I saw a readers theater done somewhere online with this story and it turned out really well. I like that the story is simple enough for first graders to really get into and have a more meaningful discussion. Maybe I’ll track down the readers theater for later this year.
To try to help combat bullying, children should be taught kindness and tolerance as young as possible.
The song “Be a Buddy, not a Bully” is for children up to about 9 years old.
