Today in social studies we asked ourselves the question : What is quality of life? We discussed the things in life that we like and compared them to things we actually need in life, the essential things. As much as we love stuffed animals and video games, they aren't needed to have a good quality of life.

In English we read some more of the Wizard of Oz and learnt of the origins of the Wings Monkeys.

One of our goals as a class is not judge other people on the superficial. We discussed Mother Teresa, Elizabeth I and Princess Diana. We looked at how they made a huge impact on the world during their time when others said they shouldn't or couldn't do so.

Some other life lessons that we have discussed and continue to work on include:

1. Money is nice to have, but it isn't the key to happiness. You have value that money cannot buy.
2. You don't need a husband or wife to be successful and happy in life. The only person you need for your own happiness is you!

In science today we also had our evaluation and we had music with Madame Zdrill.

Ask me: What is a good quality of life? What are the things in life I need to feel contented?
