The Kindness Pod teachers had a discussion today about Valentine's Day and cards going home. Because we work as a pod we thought it would be very difficult and too time consuming to ask students to create 100 cards to give to everyone in the pod, we decided that perhaps it would be best if students created one "Super Kindness Card" to make at home to give to one other person in our pod, kind of like our Christmas ornament. Students can choose to make it at school during Ignite or at home, or a bit of both if they'd like. Because there is no school on Valentines Day, we will exchange "Super Kindness Cards" on the 12th or 13th. They will then pick a name of a student from the pod that they will give their card to. That week we will also be doing some other "Random Acts from Kindness" around the school such as making and giving bracelets to people they see who are being kind.
Today the Kindness Group A had their second day of swimming. Looks like the kids had a great time!
The students got into their Open Minds groups today to keep working on their compass point journal page. N is for need to know, S is for a suggestion they have for others, E is for what they are excited for, and W is for what their worries are.
Today some students read the story "Equal Shmequal", and continued their work on equalities making sure things are balanced.
