    I do a big Gingerbread Unit each year. I have a massive collection of different versions of the story and get so excited when it is time to introduce them to my students. Thanks for the common core unit it will come in handy for next year!

Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok. Students naturally seem to want to say “that’s ok.” to an apology but it is never ok to hurt a fellow student’s feelings, body, or to make them uncomfortable. 

“I accept your apology.” Is a good way for students to move past it if they are willing to do so. 

What do you have your students say?
