It's been a whirlwind of a month with parent/teacher conferences, an illness I'm still recovering from, and a few extra days off this last week! So, here's a little lesson my 1st graders completed somewhere around the end of September, beginning of October.
We were discussing my three rules...
- Be Respectful
- Be Safe
- Be Trustworthy
...and we were investigating the "Be Safe" rule. I read the classic story of "Peter Rabbit" to them and we learned about how Peter's disobedience caused him to lose his jacket and shoes and almost be injured. I was giving the kiddos the saying "Obeying means following directions all the way, right away and with a happy heart". And by golly the kiddos still remind me of this today!!! A lesson that they remember....and one that was so simply to put together. Read a story, discuss, and write a letter to Peter on how you would help him obey so he can remain safe. The kiddos enjoyed writing the letters and wanted to mail them...I'll have to save that idea and add it to my lesson next year so they can "mail" their letters and receive a "response" from Peter. :)
