FROM MRS. MUNSON
Our CES bucket-filling bulletin board is filled with hearts and stars from students and staff that have been caught doing random acts of kindness throughout our building. Don’t forget to check it out when you are in the building for conferences next week! This week carry on with the theme of kindness by discussing with your student: “treat people right and do the right thing”. Each night before bed talk about how you each showed kindness to someone that day. Then brainstorm how they can treat people right and do the right thing the following day. Here are some additional resources to dive deeper: https://www.npr.org/2019/05/09/721721668/kindness-can-be-taught-heres-how and https://www.the-positive-parenting-centre.com/modeling_kindness.html
Here are a few books to read with your student on kindness:
- Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts
- Kindness Counts: A Story About Teaching Random Acts of Kindness by Bryan Smith
- Try a Little Kindness by Henry Cole
- Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller
