After that Mrs. Turner read Chrysanthemum to us

The theme behind the story was "self esteem"
We talked about how people can really make a positive or negative difference in your life.
We also discussed how someone's words or actions can also make a very big difference. We finalized our discussing by saying that everyone is special in his or her own way and that our names are just a glimpse of how special each of us really are.

Tuesday

Began class by going over our journals from the night before. Our assignment for the night before was to read the "Self Worth:The Pot Nobody Watches" article and the "Self Esteem Fraud" article.

We went over the differences between global and earned self esteem.
We talked about the strong influences that both parents and teachers have.

In the "Self Worth: The Pot Nobody Watches" article it talks about "pot" and whether you have your pot filled with positive or negative things.

We finished class by starting our positive pots.
