I've been inspired by the shared stories from teachers introducing the Kindness Challenge to their students. I've spent this rainy morning working on a Kindness calendar for my second graders. Can't wait to get started...they are going to eat this up! (Update: great idea to share! Here's the PDF of the calendar and list of ideas.)

Then we brainstormed ideas of what we could do in our class, our community, and our school to show kindness. The postman, the waiter,the maintenance man were all included. Then we stretched our arms out to the elderly. This went on for the whole month. Baking, sharing notes. And we developed what i called the polite patrol. Those were kids with heart badges on the playground that "caught a child helping another" and bringing it to our attention. It was so much fun that an early school educator decided to do it at her playschool. Carol whittaer
