I remember in elementary school that I thought people didn't like me because I spelled my name differently. My name is Annah and people usually spell it Anna. I felt different. Later, I learned that the way name is spelled is cool! I am glad my name is different from other Anna's!

If you are mean to someone then use an I feel statement
ReplyDeletefor example Sam hit me I feel sad because it hurt.
I was sad at home but now I'm happy
Yes, JaQuan, "I feel" statements are a good way to let someone know your feelings in an appropriate way. How might you use an "I feel" statement to tell someone how you feel if they made you feel not included?

ReplyDeleteI remember that in 1 first grade i didn't know how to spell my name and the others laugh at me when I could not spell my name right and they could spell there names right so know I know how to spell my name because I practiced on my name then i could get it right and then they didn't laugh at me at not spelling my name right and then we practiced on doing are last name and i got it right and there was a another person didn't get there last name right just like me on my first time so i went to help him and this is what i said to the other class mates is this how you want to be treated or not it is bad for you to make fun of them when you do that it makes the person that you are laughing at hurts them and makes them sad because your making fun of him and not encourage him your just making fun of him and made him sad and I said one day i had the same problem but with my first name and I got sad because my class laughed at me when I did not get my first name right and someone came and helped me and he said every body makes mistakes and they make some mistakes to once in a life time and I said yeah your right and he made me happy when I was in the blues and I was glad he was there for me to cheer me up on the play ground and I was happy about that thank you friend.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good example, Matthew. It sure does feel sad when people make you feel bad for not knowing how to do something.
