Over the past two days, we talked about how our words affect others. We started with a freshly cut paper heart. Each scholar came up and said something mean to the heart and crumpled or ripped the paper. The heart was in a ball. We talked about how the heart looked and how it was feeling. Then each scholar said something nice to the heart and we uncrumpled part of the paper. We talked about how it was nice to apologize and say nice thing and discuss how the once fresh, smooth paper was not the same as in the beginning. I asked how they would feel if someone said those mean thing and how we feel after an apology. Today, we reviewed yesterday's activity and pledged to think before we speak and to only use nice words with each other. Each child created a "band-aid" to help fix the heart. Check out the Photo Gallery for some photos of our Wrinkled Heart activity.
