These materials are helping us bring an important idea to life in our classroom—spreading kindness in both big and small ways. With these simple but meaningful tools, students are able to create encouraging messages, share small treats, and design posters that remind others how powerful kindness can be.\r\n\r\nAs part of the project, the students are working together to create a plan to complete 100 acts of kindness. They are brainstorming thoughtful ways to brighten someone's day—whether it is leaving a kind note, helping a classmate, thanking a school staff member, or sharing a small token of appreciation. The posters they create will help inspire others in our school community to join in spreading positivity. So far we have begun to hand out stickers to 100's of students! \r\n\r\nThanks to your generous donations, our students are not only learning about kindness—they are actively practicing it.

With folders, composition books, crayons, pencils and glue, writers are letting their ideas following onto the page both through images and words. This use of language is also helping students develop language that will help them communicate confidently in other areas of school and in their lives outside of school!
