We had an assembly about the emotional bank account. The teachers acted out skits showing deposits and withdrawals from the emotional bank accounts of others, like our teachers and parents. Whenever deposits were made, hearts were added to the bulletin board. But when withdrawals were made, hearts were removed. We are working hard to make deposits to the emotional bank accounts of others from now on! We went to our classrooms and wrote about how we could make deposits to our friends, teachers and families.
