Kids with Character
October
Word of the month: Fairness
Fair means doing our best to give people what they need to be successful. What you need and what someone else needs may be very different. We should always try to be fair but this means things won’t always feel equal. Knowing what is fair or unfair is important in helping people get along with each other.
Fairness is being open to other’s ideas, playing by the rules, sharing, acknowledging our mistakes, telling the truth and treating others the way we want to be treated.
