"Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures." John F. Kennedy

People can have different feelings about the same things.... and penguins too!

Today in our Skills for Learning lesson we learned that sometimes two people do not feel or think the same way about something. In this photo, two friends are showing us how they each feel about a situation. We learned that these two friends felt the same way about some things (riding on a crowded bus, swimming in a lake), but they did NOT feel the same way about holding a pet mouse! Understanding that there are different perspectives, other than our own, helps us with our peer interactions.














We have been learning all about penguins and other polar animals. We did an experiment today with a blubber glove! First we put our bare hand in the icy water - it was so cold! Then we put our hand in the blubber glove and put it back into the ice water - no problem! We understand that penguins and polar bears are able to swim in the icy water because they have a thick layer of blubber to insulate them.
