Today for our morning class 1B had emotional intelligence. We learnt that a person’s behavior is only a small part of how they are feeling. We also learnt that people show emotions differently and choose to cope with them differently. We watched a short video on happiness. They conducted an experiment asking people to think of someone who has influenced them or someone who is their role model. They then had to write a letter expressing their gratitude and call them telling them how grateful they are. This increased their happiness by 4-19%. On the topic of gratitude, we would like to express our gratitude to the teachers who took our groups on expo. A big thank you to Miss Merritt and Miss Bailee who took the core 1 girls and thank you also to Mr. Den Otter and Mr. Johnston who took the core 1 boys; without your help and support we wouldn’t have been able to do it.
