CONFLICT RESOLUTION
A study of the ways we use our hands: Seventh graders teach first
graders.
HANDS AND WHAT THEY DOSeventh Grade Students Presented a lesson to first graders based on the Song: Hands
• To be helpful– Clap– Hold food– Pat on back– Give a hand
• To be hurtful– Hit– Pinch– Slug
Seventh Grade Students Serve as Teachers for First Grade Students
Students List Activities of Helpful Hands
• Useful hands are– Clean – Have a thumb and four
fingers– Ready to be helpful– Never looking for
trouble– Ready to lend a
helping hand!
STUDENTS TRACE THEIR HAND Prints on construction paper and wrote a helpful use of hands on their handprint
HANDS CAN SHOW SIGNS OF TRUST
• Trust is demonstrated by – Touching,– Waving,– Pointing,– Clapping,– Motioning, and– Greeting.
Helpful Handprints Were Used to Cover and Ceremoniously Eliminate the
Hurtful List
“HANDS” was sung by the teachers and students after the paper hands were placed on B-Board over the hurtful list.
• Hands are for loving,• Hands are for hugging,• Hands are not for • Pushing and shoving!
• Wave your hand,• Say hello or good-bye• Don’t use your hands• To make someone cry.
• You’ve got a left hand• And you’ve got a right• Don’t use you hands• To get in a fight
