Class Meeting was so powerful this week! We talked a lot about apologizing, and students shared language we could all try for apologies. We ended up classifying them into three categories. A "green apology" is for a simple mistake of bumping into someone and sounds like, "Whoops, sorry." A "yellow apology" takes a little more thought and sounds like, "I apologize for ___. I hope you can forgive me." A "red apology" is for a big or intentional mistake. It sounds like, "I ___, and I bet that made you feel ___. In the future I ___." Miss Dausmann had a lot of apologizing to do this week in order to model what it can look and feel like. =)
