I apologize that this information is just now getting posted. We had a great meeting last week. Erin picked for us to go out to eat at Hoageez - a new place for us, but definitely one we will visit again. We watched a very interesting video about how important it is not to lie to our friends. Some of the things we learned were:
• Lying is a serious violation of trust and trust is a really important bond that makes people friends.
• Any lie, even if you think of it as a “little white lie” shows a lack of respect for your friends. Lying is a bad habit to have!
• Being mature also means being truthful. If we are supposed to try to be adults, then we need to do hard things sometimes. Telling the truth can be hard and painful, but it is important to do so we can show that we are mature and responsible.

We rounded out the night by reading some more of our book. Anne and Erin shared also wanted to shared some of their thoughts about class:

Erin – we play a game call the true or lie game it was a lot of fun we wash a move call lie to your friends and tall the true or have fun with a game and we are read a good book like Indiana Jones and the Kingoom of the crystal skull it is a nice book to read and it is hard to read some words it is a lot of fun in book club I help Kristen at work every Tuesday morning

Anne – The video kind of showed you why liars don’t have very many friends at first and then it showed you the better way to handle the situation. Which was the one girl who lied the first time to the other girl, the second time she included her which was the grown-up way to handle it. There is a book that I am reading on my own that they turned into a movie – GI Joe…It is an action book kind of like the one that we are reading now. Some people may remember the toys, the action figures.

Remember that we have class again on July 21st. Look forward to seeing everyone there!
