Secret Snowflake
‘Tis is the season of spreading kindness. In class I’d like our students to participate in the concept of a “Secret Snowflake”.
It isn't about buying anything, but more about making something/doing something nice and from the heart for our secret pal each day.
This activity helps build upon the caring community in our classroom. It also reinforces that one person can make a difference.
On the days below you will leave a special treat for your secret snowflake. On Wednesday and Thursday you can secretly give me the card/poem and I will put them in the student mailboxes. You may also leave a clue as to your identity if you wish. It is nice to put time and effort into these special treats for your classmates.
I have done this for the past few years in class, and each year I am blown away with the thoughtfulness behind these acts of kindness.
Wednesday Dec. 18th - Handmade Card
A card wishing your classmate well, to show you care.
Thursday Dec. 19st - A Decorated Poem
Could be an acrostic of the recipients’ name or any poem about recipient!
I will provide special winter themed paper if needed.
Friday Dec. 20st - Handmade Gift
This gift is made from the heart!
You will have from (Dec. 12th- when we pick names ) to work on this gift.
I look forward to seeing the creative and thoughtful gifts made for your classmates!!
