What do we do when one friend gives another friend unsolicited, unfriendly feedback? 

We teach peace. Pace. Mir. And Lisa did just that. She gathered friends close to her and talked peace. She read Can You Say Peace? by Karen Katz. She role played with friends about what they might say/do when another friend shares unkind words. She invited friends to offer kind words to one another. We’ve talked about what an angry face looks like and what an angry body looks like. We’ve talked about what to do with our anger when we feel it. We make our way back to making peace.

In other parts of the classroom, we used poker chips to determine Math FAB K.1.8: using, appropriately, the words: one/many and none/all. We also worked with Montessori beads.

 

We worked, played, climbed, glued, painted, puzzled and cared for one another (and our baby dolls), beside one another… with peace as our mission.

And our Wee Friends made it happen.

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers. Breakfast: Cereal and apple slices. Lunch: Egg casserole, peas and bananas. Snack: Yogurt and orange slices.

Peace Out.
