Saying I'm Sorry....

Ellen says: "I did'nt do anything" "It's not my fault" "I'm sorry" Sound familiar? If we sometimes argue with our friends and family members. Let's face it — it's not always easy to get along with sisters and brothers, parents, and friends. we are not perfect and we are sometimes do things that get us into trouble. Saying "I'm sorry" can help.

Saying I'm sorry is called apologizing. When we apologize, we're telling someone that we're sorry for the hurt we caused, even ifwe didn't do it on purpose. People who are apologizing might also say that they will try to do better. They might promise to fix or replace what was broken or take back a mean thing they said.

Saying I'm sorry when we need to is the right thing to do. It does a lot of good. But by itself, it might not be enough to make everything all better again. Sometimes along with an apology, a person needs to fix the mistake or say they will try to do better. Sometimes doing a nice.

Get Organized

Ellen says: Being organized is an important skill for school and life. When we were well organized, we can stay focused instead of spending time hunting things down and getting sidetracked.

What does it mean to be organized? For schoolwork, I always told my children for having one notebook or place where they store all their assignments so that they will know what they have to do and when. Keeping clearly labeled binders or folders for handouts and keeping all their schoolwork neat and in a specific place — these are the main parts of organization.

For home stuff, being organized means having a place to put things . It means hanging coat up instead of dropping it on the floor or throwing it on a chair. It means keeping schoolbag, shoes, and clean underwear in the same places so you always know where to find them.
