WORD OF THE WEEK!
WONDER!
- How do I feel when someone hurts my feelings?
- Does it hurt my friend's feelings when I ignore her offer to play?
- Does it hurt my classmate's feelings when I laugh because they fell off their chair?
- Does it hurt my grandma's feelings when I won't give her a hug because she is old and I am scared?
- Why is it wrong to stare at people who are different than me? What could I do that would be better?
- Does God love people who are different from me? Why do I sometimes think I am better than others?
