Good morning, Monkeys! Yesterday we worked on "Standing Up" and "Walking Up" when you notice someone needs a friend. You aren't responsible for the actions of someone who makes bad choices, but you are responsible for being the best person you can possibly be. Tell me, how will the lessons and activities we did yesterday impact you and change your behavior going forward? I'm excited to read your responses! Love, Miss Kalmus

If you walk up to someone then they will know they are not alone and will tell them people they care. There is always light within. Even in the evilest they just need someone to brighten it There is always hope to bring one back to the light. This is how I can impact a life. If I see someone sitting there lonely I will walk up to them and try to make that person a friend. No matter who. No matter what actions they have done they still have light within and all they need is a

"Standing up" and "walking up" impacted me by how important it is to include people so they don't feel left out. I also learned that if you "walk out" or walk away from someone that feels left out, that person might feel even more left out. I hope that if you "walk in" or "stand in" you'll make other people feel included and also feel like they have new friends if they lost their old ones. :)

I never knew that being somebody's could impact their life so much. Now I know that it is even more important to be somebody's friend. You never know what is happening in somebody else's life. For example, their parents could be divorced and you might not even know it. If you were their friend, they would feel better because they have someone to talk to and have fun with. I really liked the lessons and activities we did yesterday. :)

This can impact you because, when someone sees you doing a nice thing you someone they continue that to you! It impact me yesterday because even though kids are like 7 and your like 10 doesn´t mean you can bully them! You a 7 year olds friend even though he/she is in 2nd grade! So the point i´m trying to make is that you can be a friend in all sorts of ages!

I think I will be more respectful because I think those people who where the shooters at the school shooting didn't have friends and respectfulness is like friendship and turns into it,infact it might be better!Also I think I might consider stuff more before I act.I say this because I know it must have been hard to choose if you should participate in the walk out or not and I would like to do the right thing but that takes time and considering the thing so I think I also will consider stuff more.

It can impact by, if you be nice to a bully they could change their behavior and they will stop bullying you and other people that are. People have problems because they are getting bullied and they are scared to go where the bully is. If I ever saw someone getting bullied I would probably help them because they could stop going to school if the bully is their. You can stop the bully by kindness and then there will be more bully.

If you want a friend you have to be a friend and when somebody is alone you tell them if they want to play with you and if they say no at least they will know you wanted to play with them. If you want a friend you can't waste a friend because then you wont have a friend because you didn't want that person for a friend.friendship is not about playing every thing you want to play its about what your friend wants to play too.

Our conversation yesterday made me realize it is important to help people that are alone with no friends. Also, if you see someone getting bullied do some thing about it don't be a bystander tell a teacher and stand up for the person who is getting bullied. Lastly, if they have nothing to do during recess ask them if they want play even if they don't want to play at least you asked that might make them feel better
