Great learning day today. If you wish to discuss the exercise that we did today in Socials class regarding our view on issues, clink on this link for the election quiz. You could do it again with your parents and see what the outcome is. Thank you for the participation with precepts in yesterday's site. Today we celebrated the thoughtful sayings. We will continue the discussion of 'choosing kind' as Auggie's English teacher put it. POST your opinion of why this is important. How does the way we treat people affect them throughout their lives? Can you give an example without using names? How would you suggest we spread the word of choosing kind? Watch the video link below of an interview with the author of Wonder, R.J. Palacio. This gives you her perspective of why she wrote this book. It will also help you understand why she included this precept, 'choosing kind'. Homework:
French - livret due Thursday Math- grade 7 pg.21 #1-9, create one page with all of your rules on it and include an example to show your understanding.due Tuesday gr. 6 - no homework I am poem was typed today on your slide- complete the images, design and colour for tomorrow If you still don't have your art supplies here, you should bring them tomorrow as we will be gluing those materials on our burlap squares.

I think it's important to be kind instead being right because if you be kind to a person, it'll make the person happy inside but if you be honest about something it'll hurt their feelings inside.

I like how you deliever that message in an interesting way gymna5t. But then what if what your saying is honest and its helping that person. For example, I was working on my art and I asked you "how does my art look? What do you think I need to improve?" You were thinking inside that it needed a lot of improvement but you think its gonna hurt my feelings. So instead you say "Its absolutely perfect! Nothing wrong with it at all". And when my mark gets back for my art, I get a bad grade. See sometimes, what we say can also help the person. It might look to you that its not kind 'to be honest'. But if you be honest your doing an act of kind. Just my point of view Gymna5t. Im just being honest and I hope you understand.

Oh, I see what you're saying. I actually thought about that. Well, I guess it matters what kind of location or problem is. Thanks, that got me thinking!:)

The choosing kind is like when you lie about something to not hurt someones feelings. You could be right and possibly hurt someones feelings or you could be kind and look past yourself.

I think you should be kind rather than truthful cause if your kind the person will feel great but if you tell them otherwise the they will probably get depressed.

It is important to be kind to one and another because that is the same way you would want to be treated and if you treat someone kind they will treat you kindly too. When you do a kind act to someone that person carries it on so that is how you spread kindness and why being kind is so important!

It's important to be kind because what you say and do matters. You may not care but others do. Don't just do a random act of kindness because someone told you to. Do something that you want someone to appreciate. For example I went to Starbucks with Beyonce and my brother. My brother held the door open for an older lady and she was so pleased that she payed for his order and said thank you. Don't just do things and expect a reward. Like 2BARUNNER said yesterday, be the change you want to see in the world. The way we treat people matters a whole lot more than a lot of us think. Sometimes you might make a joke or say something rude or mean but use it in a joking matter. Somebody could take it the wrong way and end up having their feelings hurt. You don't realize it but when people say something hurtful it really does stick around. And then that person will start putting themselves down and giving in to the words. Everyone and everything matters. So just think before you say because you never know, a joke could always turn into hatred. Quote of the day: " “MR. BROWNE'S SEPTEMBER PRECEPT:

Me and my family got liberal. I guess they have a same mind like us. I voted at class for no the immigration processing should be more stricter. Because our family went through a lot of struggle to get here in Canada. It has impacted my family a lot. And I think the immigration processing and rules our strict enough.

It's important to be kind because kindness can really cheer someone up when they are feeling down and bring them the joy they needed. Basically you should treat others the way you would want to be treated. Sadly😐 I don't have a example at the moment.

I think it's good to be kind because when you do something nice, people will appreciate that. And you would like to have a good reputation, right? Also you get the teachers good side if they see it. :D

It's a lot like that line in that song "one word can make a heart open" for example one time I gave my mom my skittles and she was so nice the rest of the day. One action/word can completely change someone's word because before she was all sad. You make that decision before you say something sometimes that decision seems like you didn't make it. But if we took the time to think over our words before saying them can you imagine? People would be a lot kinder.
