At girl scouts this week we continued learning about being responsible for our actions. This week we focused on being responsible for what I say.We started by reading "Roses are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink" (http://www.amazon.com/Roses-Pink-Your-Really-Stink/dp/0688152201/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206116963&sr=8-1)
In the story, Gilbert writes mean Valentine cards to two of his classmates. When others find out he has written the cards, no one will sit with Gilbert at lunch or play with him at recess.
After our story, we talked about my friend Paper Plate Patty (a paper plate face I had made earlier).
We practiced saying not nice things to patty. Each time we said something hurtful to her, I had to fold her as we had hurt her feelings. We learned how even after we apologized to Patty, that we couldn't completely make those marks go away. We talked about how it is good to say sorry, but it is better to try to say only nice things to others.
We made our own paper plate patty to take home and teach our family.
Then we played hot potato with easter eggs - to High School Musical tunes of course!!!!
