Acceptance
Grade 6
Definition: ACCEPTANCE means respecting the differences among people.
Lesson Review the meaning of ACCEPTANCE. Read: Today, we will be doing a group activity. I will give you a number from 1-4. (Issue each child a number like this, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on) Direct each group to a given area by reading the following: All number ones gather here, all number twos meet here, number threes meet here, and all number fours gather here. Observe students’ reactions, as some of them may not be in a group with their friends. Ask students how they feel about the group they have been assigned to. Explain that sometimes we have to ACCEPT working with people other than our friends. By working with other people, students practice ACCEPTANCE. Thank students for their cooperation and ask them to return to their desks.
School/Home Link Tell students to ask family members if they ever had to work with someone with whom they were uncomfortable.
