Introduce the word “decision.’ There are times when we have to make decisions. Another way to say that is: There are times when we have to make up our minds. Tell the students they will be voting on some questions about their decisions. To answer yes, they raise their hands. To answer no, they keep their hands down. Seat students so that they can see the responses of one another. Read these questions: Do you decide when to get up? Do you decide what to wear? Do you decide how to brush your teeth? Do you decide what to eat for breakfast? Do you decide how to get to school? Do you decide what colors to use when you make pictures? Do you decide whether or not to do your work? Do you decide whether or not to smile? Do you decide where you will live? Then call their attention to the signs on the wall: Never Sometimes Always. Help them to stand under the sign that shows their own answer to these questions: Do you decide what to do after school? Do you decide how to get home from school? Do you decide what snack to eat after school? Do you decide what is served for dinner? Do you decide when it’s time for bed? Now pass out drawing paper. Ask each student to make a picture showing a decision he or she makes. Post the pictures in an area that you have captioned “We Make Decisions.” When you take them down in a few weeks, assemble them into a picture booklet for your chalk ledge collection. Students may look at these in their spare time. You may want to have students dictate their picture titles to you.
