By October, you have been in class about six weeks. My how time flies! You are learning about yourself and meeting new or renewing some friendships.

• How are you a good friend?

• Do you realize when your classmates aren’t having a good day?

• What can you do to help you understand more about someone’s point of view?

As the weather gets cooler, think about some fun ways you can include all your classmates in games, or sit with someone you normally wouldn’t at lunch. How can you show empathy and caring to everyone?
