Who are your friends and family?
Why do you do things?
Big Idea(s)
There are multiple dimensions of health: physical, mental, social, and emotional.
You know you are healthy when your body, mind, actions toward others, and feelings are at their best.
Everyone has all kinds of feelings and it is important that you let people know how you are feeling through your positive words, body language, and how you act. It is important to think about how your expression of your feelings will affect others. Everyone shares feelings in their own way.
You show good character by acting in a way that is best for you and others, whether someone else is watching or not.
Your family and friends are people you care about and who care about you. You should show respect to each and every person.
You do things for many different reasons: because you want to or don't want to, you know you should or you shouldn't, someone told you, something looks attractive or inviting or dangerous or scary, or you know it is the right thing to do.
LEARNING TARGET / SUCCESS CRITERIA
I will recognize different kinds of families and identify feelings about family changes. I will share feelings about family changes.

Vocabulary Strategies
family - a group of people who belong together
Families are important and different. As the lines in the song from the video we watched at the beginning of class said, "What is a family? It means different things to different people."
No two families are exactly alike.
How are families in the pictures different from one another?
How are families in the pictures the same?
All families change over time. New babies arrive. Family members move into or out of the home. Family members die. Family members divorce or re-marry.
Family members may have different feelings about change.
Remember that everyone has feelings and that it's okay to have all kind of feelings.
What do we do with our feelings? What are appropriate ways to manage our emotions?:
anger
happiness
sadness
excitement
confusion
