Kindness Week is Monday, February 10th through Friday February 14^th.

A few things for you to know about: 

• We do not exchange Valentines cards, candy, or treats at school. If your student arrives with Valentine’s cards, candy, or treats, they will be asked to put them back into their backpack to be taken home.
• Kindness Day permission slips will be emailed virtually to families and will need to be signed by Wednesday, February 12^th. Classes will be walking to different nearby businesses to deliver hand-made kindness cards to local businesses on Friday, February 14^th. We do not need any chaperones for these trips.  
• Be prepared to go rain or shine on Friday – bring a warm jacket, gloves, beanies, etc. if needed because we will be walking outside.  

In addition, there are different advocacy themes for each day aligned with the different love languages. Here’s a list of things that you can do to support your student’s learning at home. 

• Monday, February 10^th: Words of Affirmation 

  • Kindness Week Challenge #1 – Use kind words of affirmation with 3 or more other people you see today. It could be a family member, friend, teacher, grocery store worker, or anyone else. Set aside a few minutes daily where each person gives a positive word or phrase to another family member. 
• Tuesday, February 11^th: Quality Time 

  • Kindness Week Challenge #2 – Spend at least 30 minutes of quality time with yourself or someone you love today after school. Have a family game night, movie or show night, cook or bake something as a family, enjoy story time, crafts, exercise, or even some yard work together. 
• Wednesday, February 12^th: Acts of Service 

  • Kindness Week Challenge #3 – Do another act of service for someone when you get home! Cook a meal for the family, organize a shared space, help each other with chores, plan a relaxation evening, do a surprise improvement project, or care for a pet together. 
• Thursday, February 13^th: Gift Giving 

  • Kindness Week Challenge #4: Deliver the gift you made today in class to the person you made it for. Talk about how giving someone a gift made you feel. Dedicate an evening to creating homemade gifts for each other, create a family shared photo album, playlist, or video.  
• Friday, February 14^th: Kindness Day (Half Day) - various walking trips 
  • Kindness Week Challenge #5: Create a family “Compliment Jar”. Place a jar in a common area. Family members can write positive affirmations or compliments about each other on small pieces of paper and drop them in the jar. 

Further information will be going out on teacher pages, in emails, and announcements as the dates get closer! Keep an eye out!
