The Power of Words and Toothpaste! 🪥✨
Students in Mrs. Petrich and Ms. Kim’s class at Meridian took part in a powerful social-emotional lesson! 💡💙

In small groups, students squeezed toothpaste out of a tube in seconds, but quickly learned how hard it is to put it back in. The activity visually showed that while words can come out quickly during emotional moments, they can't be taken back once spoken. 🗣️

What a great lesson to remember all year to practice thinking before speaking and choosing words with care! ✨
