Kindness Makes Us Stronger

Kindness Makes Us Stronger

Megan likes being different and embraces her differences. On the first day of school Megan was so excited to see her friends.

When they went to class there was a new student, her name was Punji.

Punji would sit alone at lunch.... she would sit alone at recess.... she would even sit alone when everyone is playing fun games.

Until one afternoon, Mrs Lobo partnered Megan and Punji together for a group project.

Over the weekend the two spent a lot of time together working on there project. Megan started to learn new things about Punji. They both love playing with squishes, singing and riding their bikes.

On Monday, Megan was so excited to see all her friends and her new friend Punji. Megan told all her friends how much fun she had on the weekend with Punji.

During lunch Tasha walked by Punji's table. She told her friends that Punji's food was weird looking and smelled bad. The next day students were making fun of Punji. Everyone started whispering about Punji and her food.

During recess Punji went to say hi to Megan but Tasha interrupted Punji, telling her no one likes her, her food is smelly and weird. Punji ran off crying.

Megan stood up to Tasha telling her what she said was very mean and untrue. Megan told Tasha that Punji was a super nice and fun person. Megan left her friend Tasha to go check on Punji.

Megan found Punji crying and sad. Punji told Megan she just wanted to make new friends and have a good school year. Megan felt bad for Punji, she tried to comfort her.

Megan told Punji that she was an amazing person. Tasha was just being a bully and to not listen to her. Megan told Punji that she was her friend and would not let anyone else be mean to her.

At recess Megan and Punji played together. Tasha walked up to tell Megan that if she plays with a weirdo she won't be her friend anymore. Megan told Tasha that she would rather be friends with someone nice, not a bully.

Tasha said she is not a bully, she just doesn't like Punji. Megan told Tasha that she couldn't know if she didn't like Punji, because she never got to know them. Tasha was quiet.

The next day Tasha ask Punji if they could talk. Tasha told Punji that she was wrong to judge her and say means things. She said she was sorry. Punji told Tasha if she starts being nice, she would love to be friends too.

That lunch Megan, Punji and Tasha all ate together and had lots of fun. The end
