Bhab, it would be helpful if you add comas and you don't capitalize the letters that you don't need to because it is confusing at first.

I think that when you are in a community, you should fell safe and be yourself because your community is like your home because you spend most of your time with your community members and you should be happy with them , smile, and have fun with one another. :-)

I agree with you Alex because when you feel left out or not proud it's not a healthy community.

In a healthy community we should be welcomed and not made fun of. We should be happy to be in the classroom and not have to worry what others will think of us.We should also be kind to each other.

A healthy community to me is people helping each other. It is also when our classmate don't feel afraid to say how they feel or their thoughts and don't get laughed at. It is also welcoming people into our classroom.

We should feel proud when whenever we come in or classroom. We should see students helping each other. We should hear students saying nice things and saying it in a very nice tone. If we have something hurtful to say we should keep it inside. We shouldn't say mean things, but if we do we should keep it inside. We should not be hurtful to anyone at all. We should show kindness and respect to everyone at all times. We mostly want to be the best, respectful community at all times.

I think that if someone were to walk into our class they should see people being kind and helping each other if it is needed. They should hear compliments and not mean or insensitive comments. And lastly, they should feel welcomed and respected.

I think that in our community, things are pretty complicated. On one hand our community can be helpful, kind, and respectful. On the other hand, as we discussed, it's not always like that. But, I think that most of us can agree that when we walk into Room 111 that all we think about in our community is seeing our friends, joking around, getting work done, and overall having a good time, so I do think that our community, from my point of view, is off to a very good start!

I believe that how people see you is based on your words and actions. In order to send off a good impression, you have to make others feel welcome by being inviting, show generosity by offering something the other person doesn’t have, and give people advice instead of criticizing and/or laughing at them.

I feel that in a community people should feel comfortable and safe so that they can just be themselves and not have to feel like their every move is being inspected or watched, but they should feel free instead. They should not have to think that their every move should be perfect, they should feel good and happy about what they are saying and doing.

I believe that in a healthy community students, teachers and strangers should feel welcomed. Visitors should be greeted by the community members with patience and understanding. All of the community members should be working together in a respectful way, and helping each other learn and grow. Members should be empathetic and thinking about how their words and actions make their community feel.

I would like to feel safe and cared for, in our community. I will treat people the way I want to be treated. Strangers should feel safe in our community and be able to wright down lots of good comments about our class and community. People should feel good about who they are and should be able to express who they are. I feel that our class will go stronger and become a better community.

I think that a great community of students, strangers, parents etc. should be proud to walk into a classroom with kindness, helpfulness, understanding and patience. Every single person in are community should try to make a person feel welcome and respectful, they should try and try again. For example, when someone needs help someone will help them, when their left out you will be there to help and lastly if you feel welcomed and respected you should improve it to other people.

You should see people helping each other out if they tripped or if they need help in gym with a new skill. You should hear people boosting each other up if they feel low. You should feel respected and welcome.

I feel that a community should be kind to their and not be yelled at like it is now. This class should be proud of who they really are. Not just try be someone who they really not. I would know this will change when there is yelling, others helping and kind words are community will be good again.

I think that in a community we should all feel excited, proud, welcomed, and happy when you come to school. when you enter the classroom, you should feel safe and comfortable even if you are scared and it is your first day at school because you are new, everyone should welcome you. if you are going to say something, think before you say it and make sure it is respectful. by the end of the school year we should have a wonderful, welcoming community.

I think you could be a role model by leaving a positive influence on someone. You could do this by showing you except who someone is even if you don't really agree with what they might beleive. When you act in a good way, others around you might take on the personality that you are showing you have.
