Just A Little R-E-S-P-E-C-T

First and second grade classes at Brookhaven Academy in Brookhaven, Missouri discussed how saying no to drugs shows respect for teachers, parents, friends, and themselves. Then they fashioned spectacles out of pipe cleaners. This eyewear was called “re-spectacles.” The students used the “re-spectacles” to spot people showing respect. For your own version of this lesson, reinforce your message with “Good Character, Great Kid” Backpack Tag/Key Rings . And provide class members with Foil-Stamped Good Character Award Certificates to give out to the respectful people they spot.
