Kindness Week

  This being "Kindness Week",  I thought it might be nice to share of the things we have been doing....

Last year, the 6th grade students has made this huge bulletin board in the cafe that says "Throw Kindness Like Confetti".  Students then wrote on post-its about certain aspects of kindness they observed.     A few weeks ago, we had started an initiative in class to spread kindness to each other based upon that inspiration.


I found some motivational, inspirational, and kind cards that I printed out on colored paper and gave each student in class.   There are more than 21 cards of all different sayings.  They then had to number their envelope 1-21 (excluding themselves) and use it as a checklist for each student in class.  The challenge is to write something kind to everyone in class at some point in the next few weeks.  They can't just give a card, they need to write a message on the back.   These messages have been unreal.  They have been very thoughtful in their messages to their peers.   I hope they are able to continue to spread kindness to others, beyond what is expected of them. 

This week also brought in the 'Sticks and Stones' program, back by popular demand from last year! In our class visit with Skip and Jeff, they guys talked about some ways to be kind to others.  The kids then got to play some instruments.  They did a great job! 

Today was superhero day!  The kids were challenged to create a superhero that had to do with the Life is Good superpowers, or kindness in general.   They designed the superhero and then made a mask for themselves.






We decided to use today to 'tag' another class with our kinds as well.   We went down to a fourth grade class and gave all the students a superhero card. The kids wrote messages on the back and delivered them wearing their masks :) 

I hope everyone has enjoyed these activities and continue to spread kindness daily!
