Spreading Kindness

Every morning, for our morning message, kids need to write something.  We write lists, stories, poems, and sometimes we write important words we later discuss in our morning meeting.  This week, we started to write a list about KINDNESS.  On Monday, kids wrote one way to be kind.  We then shared our words and had a discussion about kindness throughout the day.  On Tuesday, they started a list of ways to be kind to one person in their life.  Choosing someone, they wrote all of the kind things they could do for this person.  Speaking to one another in a kind way.  Saying kind words to both our friends and people we don’t know as well, or smiling at someone are all ways we can contribute to a world that could always use more kindness.  It was so wonderful to hear their ideas and I loved how thoughtful they were.  Three cheers for KINDNESS!
