This week in class, we discussed ideals, values, and morals, and came to the conclusion that ideals are goals that you can set for yourself, values are what help us achieve that goal, and morals are beliefs of right vs wrong. We also talked about how it is important for us to have goals as they help with personal growth and make sure that we don't get lazy.

Homework:

Read chapter 2 of the book.

This week in class, we started off by talking about the meaning of Ideals and Values and came up with examples of each. Then, we looked at an image of a chariot and talked about what the most important part of it was, and came to the question of mind vs intellect. Finally, we reviewed some vocab words that we will be talking about throughout the year like ahimsa and guru.

Homework: Ask your parents about the meaning of Ideals and Values, and also try and come up with an answer yourself.
