Unity Chain- (set up near Room 18/Stephen Jue’s room)

Resources needed- pre-cut strips of paper for the students to use (so that they don't need to use scissors), tape, and markers.

Write a quality that makes them unique and proud of who they are as individuals

Connect to the preexisting chain to show how it takes all sorts of people to make a strong community

Activity learning goal - Visual aid to remind students of unity day after it's over, and also provide a source of positivity.

Resources needed - Leaf cutouts, tree backdrop, writing materials, glue/tape

Students can pick a leaf and then write what they do to make school a safe or happy place for themselves and others

Paly students help them attach the leaf to the tree.

Display the tree to show how students care for their school environment.

Unity Story- Kath and Ryan (set up near 2nd grade wing)

The goal is to learn to make accommodations to a game or activity in order to include everyone even if the original rules would make it impossible for them to originally be included.
