Kindness Week

This week is kindness week and we have been doing lots of activities that provoke kindness and teach the kinders how to be kind to each other.  We have been reading stories and having many discussions on how to be kind.  Yesterday, we came up with a bunch of kind words and phrases.  Ones that would put a smile on our faces if we read them.  Today, we wrote those things on pretty paper and anonymously posted them around the school.  This activity promoted kindness and empathy by having the children think about how others will feel when they see these notes.  It also helped the kinders understand that we don't just do acts of kindness for recognition.  We had so much fun writing the notes and even more fun hanging them up for people to find.  We have some very sneaky friends!!  Here are some pictures!
