HEROES OF KINDNESS:MIDDLE SCHOOL GREETING
Symbols of peace In round robin style, each student will greet the
person to their left by sharing an imaginary symbol of peace.
For example, the teacher will begin the greeting by saying to the student to his/her left, “Good Morning, Isaiah. I give to you a dove because it is a universal symbol of piece.
Students may choose a gesture also that symbolizes peace.

NO NAME-CALLING:PRIMARY MESSAGE
Greetings, Friends! Today is Monday, April 27th. Yesterday we read the
book Chrysanthemum and talked about how her name is special even though it is different. Today we will talk more about why name-calling and teasing can hurt peoples feelings.
From, Mrs. Mallory
In your journals, write about why you think that teasing is a bad thing. Tell how it makes others feel and what you can do to make sure it doesn't happen at our school.

NO NAME-CALLING:MIDDLE SCHOOL ACTIVITY This activity is adapted from a structure called
“What’s in a Name?” from The Advisory Book by Linda Crawford.
Students will brainstorm kind, positive, and peaceful messages that they can say to their fellow classmates. Each word or message should begin with the first letter of their first name.
Sharing can be done orally or students can write their messages on an index card.
Challenge students to use their messages throughout the day.
For variety, students can do this activity in pairs or a group.

MIX IT UP DAY: MIDDLE SCHOOL MESSAGE
Today we are going to finish our discussions on celebrating our differences through kindness and service with making a personal plan and then putting your plan into action. There will be a special lunch for middle schoolers where you will be eating with others that you don't necessarily eat with. This is your chance to put your plan into action and be a leader of peace in our school. I am proud of you and know you can "step up to the plate." Write below what you think your biggest challenge will be during the lunch. Have a great day and celebrate kindness and individualism!
