Today’s lesson came with a squeeze—literally! Our 2nd graders used a tube of toothpaste to show just how easy it is to let words slip out, but how hard it is to take them back. Once the toothpaste is out, you can’t put it back in!
Just like our words, once they’re said, they stick. So we’re learning to:
✨ Think before we speak
✨ Wait our turn to talk
✨ Choose words that are kind and helpful
Even the tiniest squeeze can make a big mess… so let’s use our words with care! 💬❤️
