Dreams and goals

I can try something new, not giving up if I don’t succeed first time. Discuss

home. Who are your

friends and why do you like them? Look at kind and unkind words.

I can say how to be a kind friend.

Changing me

I can tell you what I can do and what

foods I like to eat. I know that I have
