Change

Grade six-January, February 2011

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.

Mohandas Gandhi

You cannot change the world, But you can present the world with one improved person -Yourself. You can go to work on yourself to make yourselfInto the kind of person you admire and respect. You can become a role model and set a standard for others. You can control and discipline yourself to resist actingOr speaking in a negative wayToward anyone for any reason. You can insist upon always doing things the loving way, Rather than the hurtful way. By doing these things each day, You can continue on your journeyToward becoming an exceptional human being.

Change Your Worldby: Brian Tracy

Experiential Learning

• Select one habit of yours that you would like to change.

• Practice it for the next 21 days and it will help you to become a changed person.

• Select one aspect of the school to bring about a change-minimizing the use of paper cups/reducing the consumption of electricity, growing more trees etc-brain storm.

A change in time, a change in place A change of jobs, a change of pace

change your style or change your friends change your path and change the end

Chance for a 20, change for a 10 Change for the bus, 'Change please, friend'

A change of homes, a change of kin A change of friends you never win a change of schools, begin again

A change of age, a change of space A change of morals, A change of rules

A change of sails, blowing you into the unknown  

Ethan Allen
