Chrysanthemum

Chrysanthemum is the story of a little girl who gets made fun of because of her name.  I used the book to teach a lesson about how our words can hurt and you can not take them back.  While we were reading the students told me when to wrinkle the heart.  When something happen to make her feel better I smoothed it out.  At the end of the story, the heart was wrinkled, torn and had a few holes.   We use this and the poem to remind us to Be Kind and Be Mindful or our words.
