CRASH!

Pip remembered his detective training. He paused and looked at his paws. "Kicking and throwing is unexpected. It could hurt someone's toes or make my friends feel frightened. My paws are for building, not breaking." Pip squeezed his paws, took three calm detective breaths (smell the flower, blow out the candle), and asked, "Bella, will you help me rebuild the tower?"

The Golden Case Solved! Teacher Owl awarded Pip his shiny Certified Star Detective Badge. Pip proved that expected green choices help everyone feel happy, safe, and ready to learn together!

Pip's Detective Clue Chant (Repeat with Kinesthetic Motions)

"Listening ears on, space bubbles bright,
Safe hands and walking feet doing what is right!
Spot the green clue, make the expected choice today,
We're Behavior Detectives in every single way!"

5-Day Unit Discussion & Reflection Prompts

Quick 1-Minute Turn-and-Talk Stems

Day 1 Focus: "Why did Pip's barking make his friends feel startled? How does whole-body listening show respect to our teacher and friends?"

Day 2 Focus: "What happened when Pip got too close to Bella in line? How can you tell if your friend's personal space bubble is happy?"

Day 3 Focus: "When Pip felt frustrated about the blocks, what calm choice did he make instead of kicking or throwing? What can you do with your hands?"

Day 4 Focus: "Turn to your detective partner: What was one unexpected choice Pip made, and how did he change it into an expected green choice?"

Day 5 Focus: "Just like Pip earned his badge at the end of the story, what expected behavior are you proudest of using in our classroom this week?"
