I was thrilled to hear that the boys had so much respect and love, giving respect to women, girls, and each other. There are some concerns that the boys were'nt showing respect for the girls when opening doors, saying Good morning, Thank you, you're welcome,or Yes sir. I'm very proud of all the boys.

We focused on Brotherhood and Brother Keeper because we see that the boys depend on each other when playing games and having fun. Most of the boys have younger brothers so teach them that being oldest can be a lot fun while watching over they steps to help their brothers though the way. There were a few boy with other brothers or sisters so we have to give them idea from friend is like a brothers.

Once again we had great time and the boy love hanging out.

There are numerous problems that the boys face each day. Peer pressure of being smarter, the coolest and the funniest matter with older boys due to the lack of trust and lacking of listening to each other without hurting feels. During our round table discussions, we give our meaning to word and how it applies trust in our everyday lives and how we can become friend base on trust.

The boys give great meaning to both words and I was surprise that they how to use trust and friendship to what they see and hear from home. So I give you the parents, kudos! We want to be able to apply those values of trust in the classroom.

We had 30mins of round table discussions. Then have 30 mins for kickball team building.

The focus words was Trust and Friendship. The boy were excited to share their meaning to both words. It was funny to hear that most of the boys used the word trust more then friendship.

We noticed that the boys have a love, hate relationship. Love to be around each other and hate being in each other space. We spoke on working together as friend will allow them to trust each other while working in classroom centers activities.

The one thing we would like ti in steal in Boy's Talk is understanding that great friendship can show trust in long run.

Our round table discussion lasted for 30 mins. Then we did 30 mins outside activities.
