Homework: Week of November 13


Homework: November 13

Hello All,

Happy Parent Teacher Conference!

Today we continued to discuss motivation.  In Mr. Padilla's class, he discussed the following quote:

"Never make a decision when you're angry and never make a promise when you're happy."

Our emotions drive our behavior.  When we are feeling happy, we are nice and kind to others.  When we are feeling low, we tend to attack and make others feel low as well.

Level 1:  
What do you do when you are feeling angry?

Level 2:
What do you do when you are feeling angry?
Is your way of handling anger positive or negative?

Level 3:
What do you do when you are feeling angry?
Is your way of handling anger positive or negative?
What are some strategies you use to calm down when you are feeling angry?

Hello Everyone!

Happy Friday and Happy Veteran's Day!

Today we discussed Needs and Wants.

A NEED is something that you need to survive.  For example: Food

A WANT is something you would like.   For example: Ice cream

Everyone's needs and wants may be different.

All Levels: Work with someone at home to complete the chart.  You fill it out and ask someone at home to also fill it out.

Level 1:
How are your needs and wants the same as your family member?
How are your needs and wants different than your family member?

Level 2:
How are your needs and wants the same and different from your family member? Why might your needs be the same but your wants different?
Level 3:
Compare your needs and wants to those of a family member.  Why might your needs be similar but your wants different?
