Family Learning Team Meeting Rescheduled!
Antarctic Smoothies!
Our Virtue for the next two weeks is KINDNESS!
Kindness is showing you care, doing some good to make life better for others. Be thoughtful about people's needs. Show love and compassion to someone who is sad or needs your help. When you are tempted to be cruel, to criticize or tease, decide to be kind instead.
Here are some questions to discuss with your child regarding kindness:
- What do most people do when they see someone with a disability or who looks different?
- How does it feel to be ignored, teased, etc.?
- What would be a kind way to treat someone who is disabled?
- Name three ways we can be kind to animals.
- Think of someone who needs your kindness today. What can you do to be kind?
- What would you say or do if someone is not being kind to you?
- How have you shown kindness to people or animals?
Thanks for your support!
