Today's RAOK was so cool on a number of different levels:
Last week I asked my students to bring one flower (or more) today so we could create a bouquet for the office staff.
We got WAY more than I had anticipated. There were actually three more vases of flowers after I took this pic.
Then, we all delivered them to the office staff with a Thank You card we all signed letting them know how we appreciated them.
Best part: when we returned, I asked the kids what they got from that experience. they said it made them happy. I asked what made them happy. And, they said making others happy.
I think they got it, that kindness always comes back and that it creates more. Can't wait to see what THEY will do the rest of the month.
