Once you have the go ahead, enlist help           to cut, place on the safety pin (like the AIDS and Cancer ribbons)           count and sort into bags per student and class. On a Friday or Monday           present the idea to the class to gage interest and publicity<\/li>\n<li> Open with a short brainstorm discussion or children&#8217;s story about           kindness, recognition or other related topics.<\/li>\n<li> After a few minutes, share a brief story of someone that you want           to recognize and why.<\/li>\n<li> Then call on a few students to briefly share similar stories.<\/li>\n<li> Then after they have ownership of the idea of recognition, pass           out blue ribbons to the students individually and help them put them           on if needed.<\/li>\n<li> Another way is to start with 1-5 students and individually recognize           them and have those students in turn recognize another student and           so on until the whole class has been recognized.<\/li>\n<li> Try to say something to each student, but in the interest of time           a whole class statement is fine.<\/li>\n<li> After they are wearing their ribbons, have them think about someone           that they would like to recognize for their positive contributions.<\/li>\n<li> Then pass out the individual zip lock bags with 3 ribbons to each           student.<\/li>\n<li> The students recognize one person and present them with a ribbon,           then the other two ribbons that are left in the bag.<\/li>\n<li> The recognized person then recognizes another person and presents           them a ribbon and the remaining ribbon in the bag for them to pass           on.<\/li>\n<li> To adapt this activity for the whole school: With the administrator&#8217;s           approval, make ribbons for each student in the whole school-enlist           help for this if possible.<\/li>\n<li> Have a student from your class pass out the ribbon bags to each           teacher in the school, and be sure to have the students recognize everyone           on the campus with a presentation of a ribbon, and possibly one to           pass on. You might want to discuss this project in detail with the           faculty in writing (on the cheery paper) or e-mail, a brief presentation           at a faculty meeting is also good. You may also want to have the students           in your class create a mini-explanation and type it up to copy\/distribute           with the ribbons.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">       <\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"> EXTENSIONS:<\/h4>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">       <\/div>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Upper elementary learners can write journal entries about topics           relating to the project including the person they gave a ribbon to           and why, personal reflections\/opinions about the project. Lower elementary           can create a picture and a sentence, or dictate what is in the picture.<\/li>\n<li> The student excitement and enthusiasm for this project is contagious!           Not to mention the parents and the rest of the school. It is amazing           to see virtually a whole school wearing blue ribbons and a smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The concept is based on the ideas of &#8220;Pay It Forward&#8221; and blue ribbon awards.
