Kindness Week: Mission Possible!
November 19 to 23, 2018
Monday - Mission Possible: Be a Kindness Superhero!
Wear your superhero shirt or cape. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to complete random acts of kindness (RAKs) this week to help us reach our school goal of 1000 RAKs! Start by watching the Kindness Boomerang video and brainstorming possible RAKs. Then set your goal. Complete a Mission Possible card for each RAK and post it on the wall by the blue stairs so we can track our overall progress!

Tuesday - Peace, Love & Kindness!
Kindness ties us together! Wear a tie, your best red/white/pink or come dressed in your tie dye outfit. Your mission today: share your biggest smile with someone you don't know or a friend in need.
Wednesday - Sprinkle Kindness Like Confetti!
Wear a shirt or a hat with a positive, kind, caring message on it. Each student will receive a "confetti" circle that they write a compliment or words of encouragement on. These will be displayed on classroom doors.
Thursday - We Don't Hide From Kindness!
Southview Lynx don't hide from kindness but we do wear camo! If you don't have camo you can wear brown/black/green. Your mission today: invite a new friend to play with you at recess or hang out with you at lunch.
Friday - Pink Shirt Day
Wear pink and help us grow our Kindness Tree! The Grade 6s will "plant" a Kindness Tree in our front hall. Catch someone being kind and acknowledge them by filling out a heart leaf and adding it to the tree. How big will our Kindness Tree grow by the end of the school year?
WITS & LEADS
This week is a great opportunity for all staff to review the WITS (Primary) or LEADS (J/I) with your students. There are a variety of ready-to-use lesson plans on their web site and we have many (if not all) of the mentor texts in our building. This a research based program that is part of the Safe and Caring Schools plan for all schools in the LDSB. If you need a WITS or LEADS poster for your classroom please let us know.
