FHE


i really enjoyed this fhe. since adriana was having such a tough week, b/c of all the changes at school, we decided to do our fhe on forgiveness and letting go of our anger. i spelled out the word forgiveness on separate sheets of paper. we made them as colorful and cheerful as possible, and on the back we wrote two names of people we had been mad at that we would like to forgive. then we took a few heavy objects and taped the words anger, resentment, revenge, hurt, and hate. we put them all in a bag and made the kids carry it around. one by one we took each one of them out and reminded the kids (and ourselves) how much easier it is to walk around without carrying all these feelings.
