Peace lesson finale

Mrs. Sulecki brought an egg in to celebrate the last peace lesson and to represent how fragile each of us can be emotionally.  Looking at the egg, it is hard to know what it is like on the inside, hard boiled or raw.   Students reviewed each skill they learned this year by telling the class about a time they used the skill and what the outcome was.  As they each successfully shared, Mrs Sulecki wrapped the egg with straws to represent how w can protect ourselves and others by using these skills daily.  Once the students felt like they talked about all they knew, Mrs. Sulecki dropped the egg from waist height.  It didn't break!  Then she asked them if they thought that she could drop it from a chair, did they have enough skills to problem solve any tough situation and protect themselves and others?   She stood on the chair and dropped the egg.  Students were so excited to see that it didn't break.  Mrs. S. asked why it didn't break and the room erupted with how they protected it and how they can do that with people too.  What a fun lesson on making peaceful choices!
