January GIFT Homework
For Third and Fourth Grade

The fifth commandment is “you shall not kill.”  While we all know that it is wrong to kill another person, we also must remember that we must take care of other people so that their spirit is not killed.  We must try to live peacefully.

We are all unique individuals, but we also share common basic needs.  We all need food, shelter, health care, love.  We also experience similar feelings and emotions.  While we are all diverse, we also have much in common.

With your family, please discuss:

• What do people need to feel peaceful?

• When people do not feel at peace, what feelings do you think they might have?

• How can you prevent conflicts from happening in your home and in your school?

• Sometimes, we can’t prevent conflicts from happening.  What are some ways to resolve conflicts?
  

Please complete the questions below.  Remember to attend mass weekly and pray to God every day!
