how to be thankful for friends. We learned that our words and actions affect others. We learned  how to be honest. We learned to support each other and use teamwork to get the job done.  We learned to cheer for others and let them have the spotlight. We learned to give your  attention to others and think about how they feel. We learned that other people matter, as well  as ourselves!
