Jefferson, our classroom teddy bear, loves to travel and learn about life. He's especially interested in how people use Lifeskills. With the help of his classmates (who will help him type), Jefferson will share his many experiences and what he's learned in this web log ("blog"). Enjoy following Jefferson along his merry adventures!

Yo, Bloggers! I was reading the long list of circle meeting topics. There seems to be a word that keeps coming up: RUDE. I'm beginning to understand that you can't always change someone else's behavior, but you can change your own behavior and attitude. Sometimes, just that much can cause an effect in the person's behavior who is being rude. Here are two sentences similar to the one in the circle meeting list. They have 10 mistakes. I want you to rewrite the sentences correctly like a D.O.L. THEN....THINK about what Lifeskills you can use when someone is being rude and how you would use them. THEN BLOG BACK your advice in thoughtful, complete, correctly punctuated sentences (capitals, end marks, spelling,...) BE SURE TO TYPE YOUR NAME FIRST so the teacher can give you credit. Here is the sentence I want you to correct and then respond to: she been rude to me by calling me names talking when I need two work and taked my pencils what can i do - Jefferson

Yo! Blog-Buddies! What is everybody doing over winter vacation? I'm going to go to Ashland in search of wild chocolate, maybe go skiing, and then I get to meet my Aunt Roz. I sure hope she likes teddy bears and doesn't make fun of me. - Jefferson
