Mr. Peabody is a beloved teacher and baseball coach in town. His reputation is ruined when Tommy Tittlebottom spreads a rumor about him. Mr. Peabody teaches Tommy, in a kind manner, the power of words and ones inability to repair the damage they can do.
I read this on the first few days of school to reinforce that we as a class need to watch our words. Then I would bring out a tube of toothpaste. Everyone would squeeze some out on the plate. The next challenge was to put the toothpaste back into the tube! No possible! The toothpaste on the plate represents words that are said and once said, cannot be taken back.
*Highly recommend.
