I hope you are surrounded by Kindness...and Orange today!!! Happy Unity Day 2017! 'Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness'
-Lucius Annaeus Seneca Check out this cool event in our community to celebrate National Bully Prevention Month and Unity Day-October 25, 2017!
October is National Bully Prevention Month. PES will be celebrating Unity Day on October 25th by wearing Orange! In preparation for discussions and activities on Unity Day my lessons in all grade levels will be on kindness this month! 5th grade students will read and discuss the book 'One' by Kathryn Otoshi. We will reflect on people who have made a difference in their lives and how they hope to be the one to make a difference in someone else's life. We also will watch a cute video of a middle school that reenacted the book 'One'. 4th grade students will be getting advice from the one and only Kid President on how to spread Good! We will discuss in the context of kindness and students will create posters inspiring others to spread 'Good!' Check out some great posters made by Mrs. McCallister's class! Third grade classes will be discussing 'What is Kindness'? We will be watching a video of what some other kids think kindness is. In addition, students will be designing posters representing what they believe Kindness means! Check out some from Mrs. Chance's class! Second grade students will be returning for another Froggy and Friends puppet show! This time Froggy will tame a bully! We will be making bully bugs to help us remember what we can do if someone is bulling or being mean to us. We also discussed the definition of bullying-repeated, pattern of mean behavior!
First grade students are Bucket Fillers this month! We will be reading one of my favorite books, 'Have You Filled A Bucket Today?'. Students will learn the difference between bucket fillers and bucket dippers! We will practice filling up each other's buckets! Kindergarten is all about Spookly the Square Pumpkin the month! We always love when Spookly comes out to meet us and teach us his important lesson about being kind to people, no matter how they may be different from us! Exciting things are happening in October!!! Wednesday, October 25th is Unity Day! Unity Day is a national day to promote kindness, acceptance and inclusion for all people. Parkwood will be celebrating Unity Day by wearing orange clothes on October 25th! October 30th-November 3rd will be Red Ribbon Week at Parkwood! Red Ribbon Week is a national week celebrated to focus on saying no to drugs! We will have lots of special activities during Red Ribbon Week!
