Please note that we do have a field trip to the Dearborn Fire House scheduled for Tuesday, October 3rd, 2017

 Two chaperones are welcome to attend on a first come…first serve basis. Furthermore, background checks are required prior to any parent attending an event during the school day. It is important to note that if you plan on attending this trip, it may be necessary to let another family join us for the next trip. The mission is to give access to as many different families as possible.

first week was a HUGE success!

First up, using kind words. I love this demonstration using toothpaste. To do this, you just need a travel size tube of toothpaste, toothpicks and paper plates. I gave each group one tube of toothpaste and each student a toothpick. I instructed the groups to completely empty the toothpaste tube onto their paper plate.

Once I made sure each tube was good and empty, I had the students work as a team to put as much of the toothpaste BACK IN the tube using only the toothpicks.

Then, they had to try to put the toothpaste back into the tube. We discussed how you cannot take words back. When we say hurtful things, we can apologize but cannot take them back. Message: Use kind words.
