Help me give my students the ability to spread kindness to others in this world by purchasing the rocks, paint and sealent. My students words could brighten someone day!

My Project

My request for river rocks, paint, and sealant will make a difference in my student's learning because they will be creating inspirational messages on rocks called kindness rocks and leaving them for others to read. They will be learning how to spell words of kindness correctly and inspiring others to keep learning.

My goal for this project would be to show my students that treating others with kindness really does matter!

My students are special because they love to learn and are excited to try new ways to learn what they need to know for future success and happiness.
