Today in 3rd Grade we did an activity called The String Theory as part of our Positivity Project. We tossed a ball of yarn and held onto the string and gave each other compliments. It shows how we are intertwined and how compliments connect us all in a positive way. Then we cut the string, symbolizing saying something mean, and saw what happened to our web of compliments fell apart.
Mr. Smith's class completed our first round of soap box derby races this morning. Racers did a great job supporting each other and demonstrating positive sportsmanship traits!
This week the Positivity Project (P2) focuses on: PERSPECTIVE
