A Kindness Box In The Classroom

--by mpg85, posted Feb 18, 2011

I am a special education teacher in a primary school. I try to teach the children about kindness and reward random acts of kindness in my classroom.

When a student does something to help another peer out of the goodnes of their heart, I will acknowledge it and let them go in to my kindness box to pull out a little surpise. The students get excited when someone is recognized for being kind and they congratulate that child for caring enought to help someone else.

It is amazing how children in my classroom are always well behaved and have a caring nature from just being kind.
