I've started our Mendez Too Good for Violence program in grades 1-5. The Mendez violence prevention curriculum consists of four interconnected strands. The topics handled are in a positive, age appropriate manner, using cooperative learning, role-playing and other experiential teaching techniques. The model is CARE- Conflict resolution Anger management Respect for self and other Effective communication In kindergarten each week I read a book and discuss issues associated with kindergarten, getting along, friends, tattling, helping others and etc. We are still filling others buckets by doing nice and kind things. We share each guidance time what we have done for others to "fill their bucket!" Guidance classes are every other week. I have a K-2 week and then the next week is grades 3-5. I enjoy all of my classes. It's so great to see all of our students working together and growing into caring little people.
