In 4K we are having some friends issues, and some disagreements when it comes to friends. I knew this was the perfect time to bring in the crinkled heart project! (The project is explained below in the document) Overall the students learned what a heart might look like when it is hurt by mean words or actions. I had done this with my preschool class that I taught two years ago and it really helped them having that visual. I had the students after our activity what our promise as a class is, "We promise to not "crinkle" friends' hearts. We promise to treat others with kindness, respect and love." I wrote this out and had all of them sign this! Our promise that is signed, our heart with the bandaids and the explanation of the project are outside our classroom!
