Communities In Schools Facilitator Mrs. Amber completed a toothpaste activity with 3rd grade at Mullens Elementary. In this lesson, the toothpaste tube represented people and the toothpaste represented words. 3rd graders were challenged to return the toothpaste back inside of the tube and were unsuccessful. Students learned that just like toothpaste, words can not be taken back once said. (Photo Courtesy of Wyoming County Board of Education)
