Lions
Can you give your Lions away to someone else?
No, Lion's cannot be shared with others. The grownup who gave you the Lion must write your name on it so no one but you can use it.
Your friend got a new haircut. Is it kind to tell them it is an ugly haircut?
No, that is mean and not helpful to your friend. Your friend cannot change their hair until it grows out and you telling them it is ugly is not helpful.
Is it responsible to NOT do your homework each night? Why or why not?

Is "roasting" your friends kind?
"Roasting" someone is NOT kind, it is mean and hurts people's feelings. It is NEVER okay to be mean to your friends. If you see people roasting each other at school you need to tell an adult so they can stop it from happening.

False: that is very irresponsible. You need to go to the bathroom and get water BEFORE recess is over
