Today we watched “Playing for Change, Stand By Me.” It was very powerful for us to see how music connected so many people around the world.  We began to talk out how else the people of the world were connected, and realized that we probably have more in common than differences.  Mrs. McKillop then asked us to think about how we have changed in the ways we are tolerant since we have begun exploring tolerance.  As a class we came up with some ideas.  The most important area we have changed in is that we are far more aware of different cultures, and how bullying can impact people. We talked about the videos we have watched and the vocabulary we have learned.  We then tought how important it was to continue the changes we have begun. In conclusion, we think that the world is definitely becoming a smaller place, that we have more similarities than differences, and that small gestures of kindness can have a big impact. What do you think?
