Kindness Begins with Me
To encourage acts of kindness, we have introduced a reward each week for the most outstanding act of kindness in each class. Learners observe their peers during the week and nominate one learner they feel has displayed an extraordinary act of kindness. Thereafter one learner is chosen from the class and a “badge of kindness” is presented to that learner on a Friday to be worn for a week. An acknowledgment of the act of kindness is a great way to encourage learners to be kind. Learners are also engaged in building a “Kindness wall” with kind messages to friends, family and peers.
