How can your class become a community of learners? These self-portrait paper dolls encourage everyone to become better friends.
1.
With your classmates, read books about getting along with others, such as "When I Feel Good About Myself" by Cornelia Maude Spelman. As a class, make a list of ways that people act when they care about each other.
2.
On construction paper, draw a miniature version of yourself with Crayola Twistables® Crayons and Washable Markers. Add details such as hair, eyes, and clothing. Use Crayola Scissors to cut out your paper doll. On the back, list two or three ways you can be an even better friend with your classmates, team members, and family.
3.
Divide into small groups. Together, write a skit about a situation you might face at school. How would you react if a friend won a poster contest? How would you deal with a bully? What would you do if you found lunch money on the playground? Make sure you use correct grammar and whole sentences in your skit—and give it several different endings! Use your paper dolls to act out possible solutions. Choose one of the best resolutions to share with your classmates.
