With spooky season upon us, it was a good time to talk to our 5th grade buddies about things that scare us! After reading a little bit of a story about imaginary fears, we sat in a circle and voiced our biggest fears. There was some discrepancy between what scares a PK student and a 5th grader but some we could all agree on. Witches and giant spiders were a “Nope!” from all! After our group discussion, partners returned to their seats and worked on facing our fears by writing them down. Each 5th grader wrote their PK buddy’s fears and the younger students illustrated them. Together, we talked about whether these are things to really be afraid of or figments of our imagination. We took the power back by yelling “You don’t scare Me!” at our papers. Then we crumpled them up, tore them to bits, and threw them in the trash. Take that scary monsters!
