My Project

Our school has an awesome courtyard. We are wanting to add a kindness rock garden to this space. This rock garden would enable us to teach our students about kindness and give them a space to not only be creative, but also help them with their social emotional learning. We plan to use the materials to start our Kindness Rock Garden, and also keep supplies stock for students when they need or want to add a rock to the garden.

This will be a great opportunity to start conversations with our students about kindness.

Our students are so creative. They love to be outside. Let's combine the two things and create memories for our students.
