I read Weird! with a first-grade girl who's the one doing to name-calling and she totally connected with it as we set our behavior goals for her together. <br /><br />And the cookie campaign is probably as much a gift to me as it will be to the servicemen and women who enjoy those tasty treats. I spent the bulk of my week preparing them to ship and reading the heartfelt notes from my little patriots.

Parents stopped by to thank me for encouraging them to bake together and told me some cute stories about their kitchen time. Everyone wins, even the PO cashier who told me she could smell them as she prepared them to sail.

Such a great tool for the discussion about mean vs. bullying behaviors.<br /><br />Some of the cookies actually arrived to school with our little ones already in pieces. With those batches, I included a spoon. Cookie crisp cereal? We used lots and lots of bubble wrap and sent them on with prayers and love. Such a satisfying project.
