It's Random Acts of Kindness Week!

What can you do with your students this week to teach them the concept of "Random Acts of Kindness"?




Here are a few ideas I found that were posted on Edutopia.  http://www.edutopia.org/blog/teaching-kindness-the-kind-campaign-lisa-dabbs?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EdutopiaNewContent+%28Edutopia%29
 
Let's look at a few ways we can support teaching kindness:

1. Take part in the Random Acts of Kindness Week(7), February 11-17, 2013.
2. Immerse yourself daily in modeling the teaching of kindness(8) in your classroom and school site.
3. Find resources(9) for your students that can promote the work of kindness in their lives at school.
4. Get students involved in creating lessons(10) on the subject and incorporate journal writing, video production and podcasting in delivering the "kindness" lesson.
5. Check out what indie film makers Lauren Parsekian(11) and Molly Thompson(12) are doing to take the mission of kindness to schools across the U.S.
6. Schedule a screening(13) of Finding Kind in your own school or neighborhood.
7. Watch and share this video on The Kindness School(14) that's inspiring students and their communities.
8. Do everything you can to be a warrior of kindness with your students!
