Fish Bowl of Compliments:
The Rainbow Fish is a story that teaches kids that sharing with others is a wonderful thing. We made fishbowls out of plastic bottles, coffee filters, tissue paper and Mod Podge. We have displayed the fish bowls in our classroom. The kids may write compliments/thank yous and place them in the bowls throughout the year! They love writing the notes and receiving them.
Peacebreakers & Peacemakers:
We read the story No! David. Even in 3rd grade the kids love this story. After the story we brainstormed "Peacebreakers are people who..." and "Peacemakers are people who..." Kids then wrote about things they would do to be "Peacemakers" and we made "Yes Davids".
We read a wonderful story, Miss Rumphius, about a lady who made the world a wonderful place by planting lupine flowers. As a class we brainstormed ways we could make Moonlight Elementary a beautiful place. The kids then made lupine bookmarks out of chalk and paint. On the back of the bookmarks is their list of ways they can help the school.
