Three sentences about Empathy

What I am wondering about.
Everyone hide their emotions.

How can we help?

Why are they hiding their emotions?

Why Empathy is important?

Empathy is important because if someone is having a bad day you can manipulate what you are going to say to them.

Dear Denise

Thank you Denise (from Orana Park) for taking and teaching my group information about the animals and their habitats.

I learnt that rhinos' horns are made of nails. If rhinos' horns are not shaped to point up their horns will automatically point downwards and it will affect their lives, making it hard for them to eat food from the ground.

One thing I would like to do more would be to feed the giraffes. Seeing and learning different animals in Orana Park on Monday was amazing because I never knew that rhino horns are shaped manually to point up.

Yours Sincerely

We need eyes to help us see different objects. Cornea, a soft, clear tissue in front of the eyes that focuses light as it goes through.
The colourful part in the eye behind the cornea is called the iris. Behind iris is the pupils.

Business And Enterprise so far

What are we learning?

I am learning to be collaborative with my team members.

 How I am progressing with my learning

I am showing this by listening to other people's ideas, taking responsibility for parts of the task and seeing these through completion, listening to advice from other people, being flexible, and being a positive person within my company because I thought we will make coffee jelly and brownies but my group decided to make Puto Pao and Choco Jelly instead. I took part of completing the letter for Mrs Elley. Listening to tita Jo to change out company name to JICX Pinoy Kids. Agreeing with my team members' decision and believing my company to have a profitable business.

What I/my company have done so far

At the start of business and enterprise, my team members thought of making brownies and coffee jelly and naming our company "Panlasang Pinoy". The next day we decided who will be the manager, marketing manager, production manager and finance/sales manager. I ended up to be the manager, Carl to marketing manager, Ivan to production manager, and Jeremiah to sales/finance manager. After (next B&E) tita Jo came into our business room to help my group out. Later we changed our name into JICX Pinoy Kids and changed our products to Puto Pao and Choco Jelly. Then I started the finance letter for Mrs Elley. 

What my/the companies next steps are

My company's next steps are to produce our product, sell them at market day, count our profit and pay for our loan from Mrs Elley.
