"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Of course you’ve heard this saying and may have even used it to try and comfort a child who has just had unkind words hurled at them. But I say it’s untrue. Words do hurt. Even as adults we’ve heard things that hurt and sting for a long time. To a child even the smallest insult can have a larger impact. During the first week of school. teachers spend a lot of time teaching procedures. They also explain the behavior expectations and the classroom management system for the year. One activity you should add to your first week is this simple activity that shows the lasting effect of unkind words and actions. 1. Begin by asking the kids what unkind words they've heard other kids say. Write these words on some of the Sticks 'n' Stones slips. You'll need them later on in the activity. 2. Now give each student a piece of paper with a blank human figure on it. Ask them student to color the figure to look like themselves. As you wonder around the room make lots of positive comments about their work. You want the students to be super proud of their figures. After they finish coloring the figures, students should cut out the figures and write their name on the back. 3. Have students sit in a circle with their finished figure, a pencil and crayons. Tell students to pass the cutouts to the person on their right. Read one of the Sticks 'n' Stones cards and tell students that those words hurt. Ask the student holding the figure they received to make a tiny tear in one of the legs. Make sure it’s small. (You might hear a few gasps when they see their figure being torn.) 4. Pass the figures to the right again and read another Sticks 'n' Stones card. This time ask students to use a crayon and draw a dark zig-zag line across the center of the body. (make sure the color they use shows up on the figure.) 5. Pass the figures again and read a Sticks 'n' Stones card. This time have them draw an X on the face with their pencil. 6. You can continue passing the figures as many times as you want, reading the Sticks 'n' Stones cards and adding other tears and marks to the figures. I usually had the students do 5 or 6 things. 7. On the final rotation read a Sticks 'n' Stones card and have students crumple the figures into a small ball. Collect the crumpled figures. 8. Students now return to their desks as you gently uncrumple the figures and give them back to the owners. When the students have their own figure they can try to repair themselves by flattening, smoothing, erasing, or taping. They'll notice that no matter how much they flatten, smooth, erase or tape their figure the damage can still be seen. Now is when you can talk about the effects of unkind words and hurt feelings. Once words are heard or read, some part of them remain in our memories and continue to hurt. The figures will make a great display about using kind words.

These necklaces are made out of solid sterling silver. The charms are hand stamped in small lettering with a single word or name. They make great necklaces for mothers who want to wear their children's names on the charms, or you can pick an inspirational word to help motivate and inspire you throughout the day :) The length of the charm will depend on the number of letters in the word. The necklaces can be worn as a single charm on a chain, or you can purchase additional charms and beads to add to your chain. This listing is for a single charm on a chain.

The N-word remains a powerful, controversial word despite efforts to minimize its hurtful origin.

We dedicate this post to those who lost their lives and those who are affected by the recent events in Newtown, Connecticut. Our prayers are with them. The inspiration for this project came from looking and examining the "Land Art" by Andy Goldsworthy. His art was influenced by the American movement of the 1960s. Goldsworthy was aware of Robert Smithson's Spiral Jelly in the Great Salt Lake of Utah and Michael Heizer's Double Negative in Nevada. Goldsworthy's art, however, has an ephemeral character. His works don't last long, and this is the central focus in his art. We are fortunate that our school is surrounded by beautiful trees. Our nature trail often becomes a site where ideas for projects are born. After learning how nature plays a big part in Goldsworthy's art, we decided to take a walk in our "little forest," and see if we could get an idea for a project by just collecting dead branches. Every student collected dead branches in zip lock bags. One of the students had an idea of using the branches to create trees. We all loved the tree idea and proceeded in creating our Goldsworthy trees. Andy Goldsworthy Working in separating the branches according to size and thickness Students used water colors for the background paper Our bodies participated in this project Some of the thick branches had to be broken using our legs. Students helping each other in placing and gluing the branches The students who finished first were happy to assist their fellow artists
