Division 7 has been participating in a kindness challenge during the last month of school before winter break! We were inspired by the book Come With Me by Holly M. Mcghee which is about a little girl who is troubled by all of the negative things she sees going on in the world. She asks her parents what she can do and they show her that small acts of kindess and joy can go a long way. We decided to do our own small part to make the world a better place.

Each morning we choose a kindness quote and challenge for the day. The challenges are simple and something that anyone can do such as “leave a nice message or drawing on someone’s desk” or “find someone to read to today”. Then we add that day’s challenge to our growing chain of kindness. It is a great reminder of all of the good we have already done. The students have been reporting some wonderful acts of kindness that they have achieved and I have noticed some going on right here in our classroom. I wonder if you have noticed any acts of kindness happening in your homes!
