  1. I think that participation will prove to be the biggest factor in whether or not we succeed as a class.

  2. I think that patience in the class should be something along the lines of not yelling at people to hurry up even in jest, encouraging those who are afraid to or have not yet accomplished a task, and being an all-around support net for everybody.

  3. Being open minded will help us succeed in this class because you have to be willing to try new things. This class is about trust and taking risks so we need to be able to look at things from a different perspective.

  4. Giving encouragement can be cheering everyone on or helping someone who is having trouble, but in a nice way. If everyone pitches in soon the whole class will be sprouting encouraging words off the tips of their tongues without even noticing and it will definitely help the class grow closer together.

  5. Acceptance is pretty important. We need to accept people and not judge them. If we accept people, then they will be more willing to share stuff with our class that they may not feel like they could do.

  6. To me, patience means a few things. Not only does it mean staying calm while we're doing an activity, but it also involves giving encouragement and positive emotions to others. If we're doing a race, we should hear people cheering each other on, regardless of whether they are a part of your team.

    Patience is more than just waiting calmly for others to finish a task. It takes a positive attitude to really come together and be supportive.

  7. willingness is an important trait to me. I'm was a shy person but now I stop caring what people think of me and I never looked back. I do things most people would be embarrassed to do and have fun. I hope others can do this in this class, it would help the circle a lot because long awkward silences scare me, People need to talk more and be willing to contribute any insight they can. Particaption is key to the class moving forward and having fun

  8. I think that participation is the most important. It kind of ruins things for others if one or two people don't take the things we are doing seriously and only do it to get it over with. If we all try and do things with all our effort it will make things more fun for everyone and make things go better

  9. I think trust is most important because If we can't support one another, we won't make any progress. Being able to trust one another can relate to almost all of the other categories in some way.

  10. To me, acceptance is really important. We will only begin to trust one another and open up of everyone is accepting of who we are and what we do. With acceptance, we can move forward to becoming closer to one another.

  11. Discipline is going to be very important this year in outdoor ED. I love to screw around and have a good time, but when we start to do some of the more serious activities we will have to control ourselves. Hope you all had a great weekend!

  12. Positive attitude is really important. If we don't have a positive attitude, we might not participate and we might not trust each other. We have to look at things in a positive way so we can have a successful gym class.

  13. I think acceptance is very important. It should mean that people are willing to respect others' opinions and help them feel comfortable and include them no matter what their history is or rumors one has heard about them are.

  15. I think positive attitude is really important in this class because it just makes people feel good. With positive attitudes the whole atmosphere of the room is happier and it will make things more enjoying.

  17. I think acceptance and attitude are very important. In order for us to be supportive of one another we have to accept each other for how we are. Also, in order of us to continue to grow as a group, we have to have a good attitude. You can tell when people don't want to try and aren't positive and it just makes us all angry. We all should try and participate and have a good attitude towards our peers and to Mr. H.

  18. I think a positive attitude is super important. You're not going to have fun if you are going to be a johnny rain cloud and you're not going to make it fun for the rest of the class. Try to make the best of every situation and the class is guaranteed to be great.

  19. Acceptance is very important, and it means being willing to talk to anyone/everyone, and also willing to be friends with anyone. People won't be willing to be themselves it they don't feel comfortable or if they think they have no friends in the class.

  20. I think that acceptance will show itself the most in our class because if we are in groups for example and someone is not being accepted or involved with the group, things wont go very well. If someone is standing alone or not participating, we have to be able to accept them and help get them involved. Even if the person isn't someone that you're already friends with, then you have to make an effort to be their friend and talk to new people. Not just the people you already know.

  21. I think acceptance is very important in our class. Acceptance would look like including everyone. There would be no one left out of an activity. There wouldnt be any judging, so everyone would feel more relaxed. Everyone would automaticly fit right in. Acceptance is the sound of poeple from two different social groups having a conversation and getting along perfectly.
