During the past few weeks we have been studying about Martin Luther King, Jr, and we learned that Dr. King had a dream where everyone would be kind, helpful, and respectful of others. We have begun a special project to celebrate his birthday and the 100th day of school. We are going to see how long it will take our class to perform 100 acts of kindness.
Our rule is that you cannot report your act of kindness; someone else has to report something nice that you did for them.
At school, our class us going to be watching one another to look for those acts of kindness. If someone helps you find your lost crayon, that's an act of kindness to report. If you fall and someone helps you up and checks to be sure you're OK, that's an act of kindness too. At home, if your child helps you fold clothes, carries out the trash without having to be asked, or does an especially nice thing for you, please write a note to tell us about it.
We are looking for things that warm the heart! We have already started and have a Dr. King 100's chart out in the hallway to track our progress. If you are in the building, please stop by to see how we are doing. Thanks for your help and participation - together we can make Dr. King's dream come true!
