Who else learned a very different, very inaccurate version of this rhyme?! Words do hurt! And they can hurt a lot longer than sticks and stones can!


If you’re new here, I share a new freebie each month (one for parents and one for educators) to use in their homes or classrooms. Last month, I shared Letters from Mom and Sprinkle Kindness. This month, I am sharing My Favorite Books about Bullying and three literacy-based activities to promote friendship and kindness! While this product is intended for classroom use, it can also be used at home as a great way to talk to your children about bullying.  

Spaghetti in a Hot Dog Bun
