Cool Tools!

In Carbondale Elementary School, in Illinois, Cool Tools help them to work with tier 2 students.  These are suggestions for teaching or role playing with a different focus for each week.  Here is an example:

"Target Area For the Week
Be Kind to one another

Monday: Try saying something nice to someone in your room or on the playground every day this week. You will be amazed at the results.

Tuesday: First, take pride in who you are. Then, treat others, as you would want to be treated. To have a friend you must be a friend.

Wednesday: Calling a person a name can often hurt as much as being hit. If you are mad at someone walk away form them. Don't stand there and call them names. That is a sure way to cause trouble for both of you.

Thursday: Making fun of another person isn't cool. If you don't like the way a person looks, acts, or what he is saying, leave the person alone. Making fun of a person will almost always make for hurt feelings. Only a small person makes fun of others.

Friday: We don't use racial slurs or make fun of another person's heritage. We all need to be proud of who we are. Feel good about yourself. Only a small person puts another person down to make himself feel good."
They have many more examples on their web site below.
