Seven Teachings

Our class will be learning about the Seven Sacred Teachings this year.  Each teaching helps children to learn how to live a good life and is partnered with an animal to represent the value.  We learned that the bison represents the teaching of respect.  We have read stories about respect and the children each wrote and illustrated one page of a classroom book about respect.  Each page tells how we can show respect in different places.  Here are a few examples:

Arabella wrote about showing respect at the dinner table:
Chew with your mouth closed. No playing at the table. No spilling at the table.

Tess wrote about showing respect in the lunchroom:
Do not go out of the lunchroom without permission. Be quiet. Clean up.

Lizzie wrote about showing respect on the playground:
No pushing. Go up the stairs. No Kicking. No yelling. Play politely. Don't go away from teachers. Play with everyone.

Matthew wrote about showing respect for your parent"
I will say, "Please pass the salt." I will clean up the living room. Listen to your mom. Be nice to your mom.
