Honesty
PreK-K : We read a book called, "I tell the Truth!" Honesty can be a hard concept for young children at times to understand. They are not developmentally able to understand the concept like we can as adults. They want to please adults so when they make bad choices they sometimes make up an excuse to escape the situation. The students and I had a discussion about why it's important to tell the truth even if you might get in trouble.
1st: The first graders and I had a discussion on what it meant to tell the truth. They also looked at some pictures and decided which pictures showed someone being honest and which ones showed someone being dishonest. We also discussed that it's important to tell the truth even if their could be a consequence for it.
2nd: The second graders watched a short video called, "Honest Thomas". The video explained that a honest person doesn't lie, cheat, or steal. I also did a demonstration with my Lie Monster to show the students that if you usually tell one lie you end up telling more lies to cover the first one up.
3rd: The third graders watched a video on a student explain honesty. I also showed them with an ice cream demonstration that we try to cover up what we did that was bad but it doesn't really go away. The only way to get rid of the lie is to start over and go back and make our mistake right.

Bullying
PreK- I read the book, Llama Llama and the Bully Goat. We discussed what it meant to place nice and how we need to use kind words. The students also got a sticker that said, "I Pledge to Play nice!".
K- The students watched an animated video called, Henry B Wigglebottom Learns About Bullies. Then through role-playing, the students acted out what to do if they are being bullied and how to stick up for someone else who is being bullied.
1st- The student listened to the story, One. I had volunteers act out the book while I read it. After the book we discussed who the bully was, who was getting bullied, and who were the witnesses. They then role-played what the characters in the book could have done to stand up to the bully and what the witnesses could of done to help. Last, each student made a picture with characters from the book to show a way they could include everybody at recess or in the classroom.
2nd- The students listened to the story, The Juice Box Bully. We then had a discussion on ways to stand up to bully and to help someone else out that is getting bullied. The students then did a juice box writing activity. On their juice box they wrote a way they would help someone else out who is getting bullied.
3rd- The students listened to the story, Just Kidding. Then through a flip book, they were able to identify the bully, the witnesses who did nothing, the witnesses who helped, the person who reported it, and who finally took a stand to the bully. We also discussed ways to stand up to a bully and ways to help someone else out who is getting bullied.

Personal Safety
PreK- We discuss ways to keep our body healthy and safe. We also talked about the importance of putting only helpful drugs into our body like medicine. Then I explained that there are medicine safety rules we need to follow. The students then participated in an activity where I showed them several items and they had to decide if it was a "Hands-on" or "Hands-off" based on the medicine safety rules we discussed.
K- The students watched a short video called, "What is a medicine?" We talked about the importance of staying healthy by following medicine safety rules. Then together we read a booklet about medicine safety and the students drew a picture of them following a medicine safety rule.
1st- We discussed the differences between helpful medicines, such as Tylenol, aspirin, and antibiotics, and harmful drugs, such as alcohol and nicotine. Students learned about the effects these substances have on the body and the brain. They also learned important information about the use of helpful medicines, such as who should administer the medications, when they should be taken, and how much should be given.
2nd- Students learned about different drugs and how they affect the body. They also classified drugs and their effect on the body into two groups: helpful medicines and harmful drugs. We also talked about peer pressure and ways to say "no" to unhealthy choices.
3rd- Students started the lesson by filling out a Venn Diagram on Harmful and Helpful Drugs. We then discussed why some drugs are harmful and how some are helpful. Then my lesson focused on how to deal with negative peer pressure. We also discussed some of the the methods and assertive behavior their peers might try. To end the lesson, the third graders created their own superhero who fights off drugs by saying "no" to peer pressure.
