Effort is to do your best. When have you shown effort in your life? It can be for school, for home, for a sport or extra activity etc. What do you think would happen if you stopped showing effort? Would you be as successful or not?

Our life skill for this week is RESPECT. How do you show Respect? What does Respect mean to you? Has someone ever disrespected you in the past and how did it make you feel? Why is respect such a great life skill? Write 2 paragraphs or 10 sentences answering the questions I gave you.

Integrity is to act according to what’s right and wrong. You do something because you know that it is the right thing to do and you don’t have to be told to do it that way. Often times we are confronted to make choices (especially around our friends) and sometimes it gives us the chance to make a smart choice or the wrong choice. If you choose the right choice and do what’s right now matter what your friends say, then you are showing integrity. Tell me about a time when you should integrity. It can be either at home, school, on a team sports etc. What happened and what was the final outcome of your choice. Remember you need to write 2 paragraphs, with correct spelling, grammar, punctuation etc. If it is not done well I will not give you a full 30 point grade for your entry. Also remember to comment on others.

Write me a little something about yourself and what you are expecting from your 6th grade year. You need to write at least 10 sentences with correct spelling, capitalization, grammar, and sentence structure. You will be graded on your response. Highest grade is 30 points.
