This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our Title I school is full of wonderful, kind, and caring students who come from all walks of life. Many of them participate in the free and reduced-priced breakfast and lunch program. Even though we have students who have a difficult time bringing the basic supplies to school, they come to school ready and eager to learn.
Our students enter the doors of our colorful school knowing that the staff is prepared to help them reach their potential of being college and career ready.
My Project
This school year our school is promoting kindness all year. We had a special week at the beginning of the school year to kick off our kindness initiative. In my class, we read books that promoted kindness. We also discussed ways we can show kindness every day.
One of the books that I had the privilege to read to my class was Wonder.
This amazing story was enjoyed by all. My students had wonderful conversations about everyone being born special in their own unique way. We were able to watch a clip from the 20/20 segment of "Wonder Boy." Several of my students watched the whole program with their parents and came to school ready to discuss the importance of spreading kindness to all.
My students want to incorporate kindness into beautifying our environment by decorating rocks with kind sayings and pictures and spread them around the school. In science, they have learned about different types of rocks and how they form. Before they decorate their rocks, they will review what they have learned about rocks. I know my students will enjoy this activity and be excited to spread some more kindness.
