Readers of the weekly newsletter might recall reading about the book KINDergarten: Where Kindness Matters Everyday. This book laid the groundwork for us to explore different kinds (or types) of kindness. Beginning in mid-February with the backdrop of Valentine's Day, we began focusing on: Caring, Inclusiveness, Courage, Responsibility, Integrity, and Respect.
We are mid-way through reading a book that helps to illuminate each kind of kindness, but we are also practicing what we're learning through our "communication station". Below you can take a look at classmates writing kindness notes for one another. 
In this way, we not only exchanged the cards that classmates made at home, but also put our writing skills AND kindness skills to good use over many days. On actual Valentine's Day we had a super time distributing and opening cards as well as making a Friendship (aka fruit) Salad.
In this last picture of the post you can see our paper-people-chains...
Look carefully to see that the spaces BETWEEN the paper people are hearts!💓
