No Name Calling Week

No name calling week is fast approaching. January 21st thru the 25th is dedicated to a week without name calling. The No name calling week website will provide you with all the tools you need for a successful program. There are free posters to print, lesson plans, and activities to get you started. The lesson plan are divided into elementary, middle, and high school levels.

I am planning on having a Mix It Up Day at lunch during the week. Another activity in the works is a friendship chain. Students will have a slip of paper with their name on one side. On the other side students in the class will write positive statements or compliments (you're a great friend, thanks for helping me with my homework, ect).  After students have a chance to see all the nice things about themselves the links will be connected into a chain. Think of this as a chain made during Christmas for classroom decorations. I'm not sure what other activities I'm doing the rest of the week but will keep you posted. What are you doing for No name calling week?
