More OS with 3rd graders

[Joelle Lyons Everett]

Ashley--

Fun, indeed!   This is really great, that students at your school are 
learning to self-organize and help themselves.

Years ago, I opened space for the teachers and staff of an elementary school. 
  The students were not involved in this one, though the first graders set up 
the room (a small gymnasium) at the end of their recess.   In the course of 
preparing for the OS, I learned that this school was using a talking stick to 
resolve conflicts between students.   When there was a problem, someone would 
run to get the talking stick, and both parties would take turns saying whatever 
needed to be said, until they could work out a solution.

Sounds like your school is growing people who might learn to solve disputes 
without violence.
