 1. Our mums love us no matter what we do, and 
2. winning isn't everything.
We hope that you enjoy reading Mem Fox's stories - we love them!]]> 2017-10-04 06:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/193719833 Hello from BBIS in Germany! https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/193776345 Everybody in your family still loves you, but if nobody speaks to you about love, you might think they don't. Sometimes they are so busy so you have to think inside of you they still love you.

Everybody loves you, if you think nobody loves you they actually do love you!

Who cares if someone wins! It is just a game and your mother or father always loves you even if they don't tell you.

Not to be jealous. Second place is still really good. It doesn't matter if you don't win it just matters that you try. Never give up. ]]> 2017-10-04 16:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/193954068 Greeting friends! We are from MGPS in Markham, Ontario, Canada!! https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/194024784 The lesson we thought Mem Fox was trying to tell us was;
1. It doesn't matter where you finish as long as you try your best!
2. Your mom and dad will always love you, but sometimes they may be to busy to say it
3. You can tell your parents you love them and not just wait for them to tell you.]]> 2017-10-04 18:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/194024784 Mrs. Grant's 1st grade speech group--Jonesboro, Arkansas https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/194026583 Winning does not matter and our mothers love us no matter what!]]> 2017-10-04 18:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/194026583 Grange Hall Elementary, Virginia https://padlet.com/burkep/rm9jghg8yc64/wish/194028966 Your family will love you no matter what!
