1) We will begin by reciting our class pledge.
2) Students will say class pledge in their own words and discuss things that they need to do in class.
3) Class will discuss that a pledge is a promise and when we promise something and keep our promise we become trustworthy.
4) Sort trustworthy acts and non-trustworthy acts
5) Discuss that we need to do the right things even when we are not being watched. It takes time to let people know that you are trustworthy. If your mom asks you to do something do you do it?
6) Students will draw on the computer something that they might do at home that will help mom trust you.
7) Glue pictures on cardboards blocks to simulate building trust and what we do to knock that trust down. Pile up blocks with trustworthy actions and knock them down with one untrustworthy action.
8) We will draw a big heart at school and send red paper home so that parents can fill them out every time they do something trustworthy at home. As the red paper comes back to school we will fill in the heart. But every time they do an untrustworthy act we will tear a piece off.
9) At school we will put a penny in a piggy bank any time a child does or says something that helps with trust and take a penny away when actions or words destroy trust. We will use the money at the end of the year to buy ourselves a treat.
