Animals discovering that everyone has a place in the world

At a small school in the middle of the forest, the teacher had a special idea: "Today, each animal in theclass may give us some advice on how we can be a happy, friendly group together."

School wisdom of a donkey

The donkey stepped forward and spoke in a firm voice:"Help others, even when it’s hard. Together the burden is lighter."

School wisdom of a lion

The lion shook his mane and said:"Have the courage to stand up for yourself and others when something is unfair."

School wisdom of a Fisch

The goldfish bubbled from his bowl:"Don’t forget to listen, even if it means being quiet for a while. Everyone deserves to be heard."

School wisdom of a Owl

The wise owl nodded and murmured:"Think before you say or do something. Words can hurt or comfort."

School wisdom of a frog

The cheerful frog croaked:"Stay happy, even when things go wrong. A smile is contagious!"

School wisdom of a Mouse

The little mouse squeaked:"Even the smallest can help. Dare to share your ideas."

School wisdom of a flamingo

The colorful flamingo gracefully stepped forward:"Everyone can be different. Your color is what makes you special!"

School wisdom of a rooster

The proud rooster crowed loudly:"Greet the new day kindly a cheerful ‘Good morning!’ is good for everyone.

School wisdom of a turtle

"The relaxed turtle nodded slowly:"Take your time. Not everyone is fast, and that’s okay."

School wisdom of a butterfly

The delicate butterfly fluttered through the air:"Small gestures, like a smile, can brighten someone’s day."

School wisdom of a peacock

The magnificent peacock spread his tail:"Show what you can do but don’t boast. Everyone is good at something."

School wisdom of a cat

The soft cat purred:"Be kind and gentle with each other. That way everyone feels safe."

At the end, all the animals nodded, and the teacher smiled: "If we try to do all of this every day, then our class will be a truly wonderful place for everyone!"

Food for thought

In a group, everyone is important each in their own way. When we are kind, brave, patient, and helpful, everyone feels good. Every day, you can help make your class a better place!
