Like students across the country, you took "The Pledge" today:
We
believe that all people are made in the image of God and are children of God.
Every person must be safe, valued, and included. I pledge to respect others, to
be a peacemaker, and to report bullying whenever and wherever I see it.
Is it bullying?
Definition:
Bullying is unfair and one-sided.It happens when
someone keeps hurting, frightening, threatening,or leaving someone out on
purpose.
We discussed the opposite of bullying which is RESPECT. We show respect when we are kind to others. Throughout the month, you are called to live the words of the prophet Micah:
Each act of kindness you do will be written on a hand and displayed on the door. Tonight think of some acts of kindness you could do for others.... they don't have to be difficult, just bring a little happiness to someone's day.
Listen to the story "Enemy Pie" again. Are there any other messages that your group didn't think of?

Science
Our big question today was how habitats change naturally. Share with your parents examples of gradual changes and catastrophic (fast, without warning) changes. Are the plants and animals able to recover?
Tomorrow we will be looking at changes in habitats caused by humans.
