Random Acts of Kindness

Hello, friends! It is so hard to believe that Christmas is over and we have been off of school already for a week! I love reading about examples of kindness in the classroom. Last week, we got a really neat email from one of our faithful followers, Carmen.random acts of kindness Carmen used my Kindness for Kids in the Classroom, Community, and School Setting unit with her kiddos and sent us the pictures! I was so excited to see pictures of Carmen’s students delivering coffee, cookies, and candy canes…on a cart! Her class teamed up with a fourth grade class and they had two carts going at the same time.random acts of kindness

I mean, how excited would you be if this cart came rolling into your classroom!?!?! random acts of kinds Talk about an awesome random act of kindness!!!! Thank you so much for sharing pictures of this activity, Carmen! Smile Slide20 On the Friday before winter break, my students performed one last random act of kindness for our principal and assistant principal. The students made a class book as to why those people are a gift to our school. random acts of kindness

We then stuffed a stocking with the responses and one lucky student was selected to “sneak” into the principal’s office and put the stocking on his desk. random acts of kindness
