Hello, young thinkers! Today, we're going to embark on an exciting journey through the fascinating world of decisions. Have you ever wondered why you chose a particular game to play, what to have for lunch, or which movie to watch? Each of these choices is a decision, and they can have different impacts on our lives and the lives of others around us.
A decision is simply a choice that we make between two or more options. It’s like standing at a crossroads where each path represents a different choice. Some decisions are small, like what to wear to school, while others can be quite big, like moving to a new house or deciding which subject to study.
Every decision we make can have an impact, not just on ourselves but also on our friends, family, and even our community. For example, if you decide to share your toys with a friend, it can make them happy and strengthen your friendship. On the other hand, if you decide not to include someone in a game, it might make them feel sad.
Decisions are made by everyone! From kids like you to adults like parents and teachers, we all make choices every day. Some decisions are made alone, while others are made together. Think about how your family decides what to do on the weekend. Everyone might have a say, and together you make a choice that hopefully makes everyone happy.
As we start our lesson, I invite you to think about some questions related to decisions. Grab a piece of paper and jot down your thoughts on these prompts:
Once you've written down your wonderings, we’ll gather in a circle and share our thoughts. Remember, every opinion is valuable, and this is a safe space to express your ideas.
Get ready to dive deeper into the topic of decisions and discover just how powerful our choices can be!
By the end of this lesson, I hope you will have a clearer understanding of what decisions are, how they impact us, and how we can think critically about the choices we make every day. Let's begin!
