LESSON 8 Kind vs. Unkind

Sometimes we say things that we think they are funny. Then we see that the children we talked with do not want to talk with us any longer or become very upset or angry. These are negative feelings and we are always going to try to stay away from negative feelings. Today we are going to learn that some things that we say can hurt some ones feelings and make them upset. Ask the students to make two columns on their sheet of paper. First column will include appropriate topics and the other column will include inappropriate topics. The teacher will explain that some topics are not appropriate to talk about at school. These topics include: - Calling people names - Talking about your private parts - Cursing Other topics can be used at school and students will be encouraged to talk about. These topics include: - Talking about music, arts, etc. - Talking about your friends in a positive way - Talking about games, etc. The teacher will play a recording of different people conversations. The teacher will stop the recording after each scenario and explain why the statements were appropriate or inappropriate.
