My Project

Kindness enriches both our world and our school community, making them better places for all. The highest grade in a school sometimes displays a sense of superiority towards younger students. However, a mentoring program between older and younger students can effectively address this issue. Help transform fourth-grade students into Service Stars, guiding them to mentor peers and teach kindness while supporting younger students. A program like this enables older students to foster empathy and understanding, cultivating camaraderie rather than superiority, while younger students observe and learn acts of kindness through lessons and examples set by their older peers.

To launch the mentoring program, we aim to create a safe and welcoming environment, particularly for younger students who may seek guidance and support.

This involves establishing a compassionate space in the fourth-grade hallway, designed with calming elements like blue lighting, colorful tables, and comfortable seating to encourage participation and ease. This space will be open to all students, offering safety, companionship, and engaging activities.

Once the space is prepared, students will engage in lessons exploring the concept of kindness and its manifestations. The Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will fund the purchase of a Kindness Unit, a program designed to delve into acts of kindness across different settings: home, school, and the community. Mentors will lead a Kindness Counts Campaign, guiding discussions, role-playing activities, and interactive lessons.

Following the learning phase, students will use paper and markers to put kindness into action through activities, like but not limited to creating kindness posters, participating in a kind gesture bingo board, and making cards for senior citizens.

The objective is to establish a mentoring program that fosters connections among students of different ages, offering enduring lessons that empower them to continue making positive impacts in their communities throughout their lives.
