Kindness and Respect

Hello everyone,

I am hopeful everyone had a relaxing weekend. I was able to get a bit of skiing in and I think in hindsight, I should have stayed in bed! I have a bad cold and hope to be over it soon!

I want us to think of something that has been on my mind a lot lately: kindness and respect. I have been thinking about what they mean to me and how I act with kindness and respect toward others. I am thinking about ways I can become more thoughtful and considerate.

Think about how you treat others with kindness and how you would like to treated. How do we treat others? The substitute, our friends, Mr.Leger, Jeff, our parents? If we sometimes are not kind and respectful, I wonder what we are feeling about ourselves? I believe when we act in ways other than with kindness, we are really about something that is bothering us... a friend has said when we act mean toward others, "look in the mirror" and think about what you are feeling about yourself.

Write at least 6 sentences about kindness and respect and how you might grow in this area...

Peace and Light,

Mark

PS Hope to make it in for the African Dance this afternoon, if I feel better...

People can be more respectful and kind by. Being more happy all the time. Smile more to people. Not talking over other peoples voices. Lisening to other poeple while their talking. Help people if they have questions.

Hello I think that us as a class could do alot better in music we were all very exited because of P.E and we were very exited because it was a friday. But some people did not get strikes...... and it seemed that some other people were'nt even tryin gto behave, it was really bad. I wish that people would try instead of thinking oh well I'm going to have a great weekend and I'll just forget about how disrespectful I was in music. I think he could be nicer though, but then again I do feel sorry for him.

2. not kicking a ball at recess if somone says not to kick it.

3. Not running in the hallway

4. using an inside voice

5. not destract others when they are working

6.not callingout

It was NOT Miles' fault. He was merely set up by someone. The other instances that day, I can't explain.


I could not argue with people to make kindness.
I could wait for my friends to catch up to me when they are behind me on the MT.




Peace and Harmony,

Dr. Lynx

If we were all kinder to each other the world would be a better place in retrospect. Using kinder words and being patient and respectful. But thats easier said then done..
If your in situation, like when your really hungry or tired you get misrible and a little angry somtimes. But if we learn to control thoughs emotions then that would be a great acomplishment. For the avrege human.

I can treat others the way I want to be treated. I can be respectful to all the people of the world. The world would be a better place if everyone was respectful to eachother. Everybody should be nice to eachother in the world. They should also be respectful and responsible and then the world would be a better place. With all those things the world would be a great place.

In a situation when I get hungry I'm not patient so I get mad and get tierd so I think I can changed that by eating more food.

No screamming at anyone when your mad.
No ruff houseing when your mad at that person.
No cussing because a lot of people do that.
Dont blame people when you do something bad.
Dont make fun of the song when we are in music.

What I can do to show more kindness and respect to the teachers or someone who is talking in the group is I can sit with someone I know I won't talk to.I can also show kindness and respect by really paying attention to the speaker.

When Im on the bus I can show kindness and respect by not talking really loud. I can stay in my seat and wait for my turn to get off in stead of cutting in front of the other people. Another way I can show respect and kindness is I can join in the activities even if its not one of the things i really want to do.I can treat others the way i want to be treated.

Aylah Says..
my mom says that I'm very hard on people sometimes.I undersand that my music teacher is having a hard time with my class. We as a class could sit more quietly, paying attention and singing when asked to. when we play around in music class it makes it not fun for the teacher. I can be more respectful by following the rules, keeping my area clean, not talking to my fiends while teacher is talking, or Jeff is signing to me. I can be kinder to my friends by not argueing with them, and not poking people like Jeff. Not teasing others, yelling at my sister are other ways to be respectful and kind.

I can treat people how I want to be treated. I can be a good example. I will try not to sign douring group. I will be respectful to everyone. I will payattention and not do other things while people are talking. I will try to participate in everything. I will be quite in the halls and walk not run.

An why I can be more respectful to every one

Is to not interrupt people when they are talking when people are talking instead of saying hi I can stand there into they are done or I can come back when the can talk with me.

If mark is asking someone a question I won’t say the answer because it is there turn to answer it.

I can help a younger when they need help and don’t get frustrated if they don’t know something because they are in first or second grade and I am in 4th grade.

If I am on the playground and someone would like to hang out with me I say yes instead of saying I am doing nothing or make it sound like it is not a fun game and when the 4th and 5th graders are playing 4 square and the little kids won’t to play and of you don’t won’t they to play don’t just get them out right away because it is a game for everyone.

In the cafeteria people say that you cam save sets and maybe you can but it is nice to let someone set next to you if they won’t to because ether they won’t to be your friend or they look up to you.

If there is a substitute don’t make them have a hard time and say your names are bob your other names because they really might think that is your name.

What I Can Do To Be More Respectful To Others
How I can be more respectful is to be nice to every body even people I don't know so well. Or I can be more helpfull doring school. Or I can not talk when some body else is talking. I can also be more respectful by not leving people out at recess. And I can play what other people want to play and not just what I want too. Or I can not fight with other people doring school. And I can be more respectful by not signing doring class.

As I read some of the comments I think to myself I should be kinder myself, one way for me, is to be a little more patient with Aylah and her friends when they want to chit chat. another way is not teasing Nick or Mark as much as I do.

River: I think that we could just keep in our mind, at al times when ever you say anything you should think about how you will affect the person your talking to. Also to treat everyone like your best friend.
Sara: If we be kind to people we can help them when thier hurt. I appriciate my mom because she is kind to me when I'm hurt and or sad. I've also helped my mom when she is hurt and or sad.

Once my coat caught on my earing and my ear blead and Ellie wanted to help me...and take me to the bathroom and help me, and Mark said no. So she did a sign to Jeff that meant 'Bathroom' and he let her go to the bathroom.

Anna E:
Anya, Susannah, River and I went to the swings for recess and they made me laugh and have a good time. I appreciate them for being my bestest friends.

I think that river is right, we can be alot more respectful to My Leger by not talking during the movies and not playing instruments after he asks you to stop.

I meant signing, not sinning. I don't belive in sin. Also, I could try to listen better to people, be easier and not yell at my sister.
