One of the messages we strive to model and convey to our students is that our words are powerful. Sometimes kids can only understand these lessons when we talk to them about occasions when they have felt hurt or sad. In our classroom, we have a simple rule when commenting about others' work or their items brought for sharing :"If you don't have something nice to say, it's best to not say anything at all." Please share this video clip from Bambi and reinforce our lessons of "thinking before you say something that might hurt someone else's feelings."
