Yesterday's lesson was a bit of review about things we've learned, and the tools we've used to handle situations. We all shared some stories of bullies, talked about why people bully, and thought up good solutions for how to handle those situations. Sadly, usually people bully because they've been bullied and that's what they learn, so we talked about showing them kindness, and teaching them how good it feels to be nice.
After our discussion, and sharing of many stories, the girls put together some skits. They all came up with great ways to handle bullying situations, whether it be about mean words that hurt our feelings, mean actions, or even making fun of the food we eat. They used their treasure chest tools to think about how they are feeling, and handle the situation the best they could. They are all great actresses, and are experts on handling bullies!
The girls have been begging to play the telephone game again, so after our skits we did a couple rounds. It's really a great lesson on how words get misinterpreted and messages change.
And then we ran! Today the girls did 8 laps.
