One of the quilts at Meramec Elementary School is mounted on white craft paper and covers the entire door. Yellow squares designed by individual students reveal favorite pets, soccer balls, baseballs, hockey sticks, books, paint brushes and ballet shoes. These squares are interspersed with green squares that feature a teddy bear, heart, or schoolhouse. Divide students into five groups. Give each group a copy of the Great Group script.
Members practice saying their parts together.
They think of an accomplishment of the group and select a spokesperson to share it during the reading. After roughly 5 minutes, bring the groups together to present the script. Close by sharing things you think the group has accomplished. Publish a Respect Gazette and distribute it throughout the school and to parents of students. The Gazette contains stories and interviews written by student reporters.
