Miss Hatcher's third grade class did a lesson on words and the impact they have on others and themselves. They talked about how sometimes we say things that we do not mean to come off in a rude or unkind way, but once the “toothpaste” or words have been said or squeezed out, it is so hard, or almost impossible, to put those words back where they came from. Students thought about unkind words they have said to others or to themselves and squeezed out a bit of toothpaste. Then they tried to get the toothpaste back inside the tube. This demonstrated the importance of kindness and making sure we use kind words with others and ourselves.
