Wholesome story!

pandaprincess9 July 15th, 2023

I teach choir (we have a summer program). I had to have a conversation with all the kids (grades 2-5) about kindness and respect today. I began with the quote "Royalty doesn't go around trying to knock their crowns off of each other's heads. Real royalty straightens the crown of every single person they encounter, because you want to surround yourself with people who have their crowns on straight."

So we're doing a song called Who I Want To Be by Coty Raven Morris. During the middle of the song, there's a part where we'll speak positive affirmations written by everyone. I explained to my students (class of grade 3 and 4) what positive affirmations were, and shortly after one of the girls comes up to me all excited, because she figured out what she wanted hers to be. "My crown is on straight"🥺😭 it was the sweetest thing, and a damn good positive affirmation as well. That was one of the best parts of my week ngl
