Sissi realized that they were only two parts in the story, she felt left out, When Umi and Uka realized that Sissi was no longer sitting with them. Umi went up to Sissi and asked what’s wrong? “You forgot part of me!” Sissi said.

Umi said I’m sorry, sometimes when I get too excited I’m using my imagination, I didn’t mean to leave you out. Sissi realized she did have an idea.

Sometimes when we feel left out, please don’t hesitate to ask and be part of the Idea or tell them that no one should feel left out and work together as a group

If you feel left out and when if you’re thinking that you don’t have a good idea , you can work things out as a group and think of a good idea together.

We all can encourage one another when we feel angry.

When we feel angry we want to scream

When we feel angry we don’t know how to be clam.
