Sometimes it’s okay to feel a little grumpy—as long as we do not take it out on our friends, teacher or family. It is always best to talk about why we’re feeling a certain way.
Ask yourself how do I handle my feelings?
Do I say or do things that hurt others or myself?
Do I do a happy dance? Do I talk it out?

A good deed; is like a seed.
It will grow into something, someday.
I can take ACTION!
What is a problem I want to solve?
Why is this problem important to me?
What could I do to help solve the problem?
Who do I know that can help me?
