Kindness is the Best Gift


We've come to my favorite time of year...the holiday season.  You often hear that the season is all about giving instead of receiving, but when and where do our kids learn this?  How do they learn the joy of giving?  This year we are going to practice giving gifts of kindness and see how good it makes us feel.  Each day during December the students will be asked to write compliments to the student(s) of the day.  These compliments will be written on our new schoolwide, student-to-student, Pawsome cards.  These cards allow students to recognize the positive action of their peers.  We will continue to work on being Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Active Learners each day as we practice giving gifts of kindness in the form of our kind words.
