Kindess Matters

Today Mrs. Lowe surprised us with an empty wreath. We talked about the wreaths we saw around Remembrance Day and how they were symbols of peace. Mrs. Lowe explained that our wreath would be a symbol of our kindness to each other.



When students are caught doing kind things, they get to choose a ribbon to tie on the wreath. We are so excited to see how beautiful we can make it, with our kindness.


Some of the kind things we've been doing include:
  • helping each other get ready for recess
  • giving compliments
  • straightening boots that have fallen over on the mat outside our room
  • comforting a friend who has been hurt
  • teaching each other new skills
  • sharing toys 
  • working as a team to complete a task or solve a problem
Working together to add ribbons.
This idea was inspired by the work of Debbie Clement. You can see more here.

I am so H*A*P*P*Y that you are taking this idea and running with it! I want to see pictures as it grows in strength and flavor!

It will be awesome by the end of the year!
