Catchphrase: Watch My Words
Fire is powerful. It can help, and it can hurt. How it is used is determined by the one who is using it. Our words are powerful, too. They can help, or they can hurt our friends. Today, we are learning about the importance of watching our words and using them to help others, not hurt them.
