Thanks
Bex for the opportunity to guest blog for you. Today I would like to
share with your readers some resources that will help our students to
better understand that they can make a difference with simple acts of
kindness.

I
believe that when we have an attitude of gratitude, we are more likely
to experience the blessings life has to offer. At this time of the year,
I like to focus on giving and being kind. It is so easy for children to
get caught up in the commercialism of advertising with Christmas just
around the corner. It is important that they think about giving instead
of all the things they would like to have. I shared with my class the
concept of paying it forward when we were talking about peace and
veterans and all they gave for our freedom. I created a paying it
forward poster using poppies to show how quickly this could explode.
Recently, someone shared this video and I immediately thought about how
it showed examples of paying it forward with simple acts of kindness. It takes so little to make a difference. It costs so little, but it pays big dividends.

More Videos of Kindness
Here
are some more video clips that share acts of kindness and the impact
they can have. I have shared these with my students for the last couple
of years, and it is amazing to see the impact it has on them.

I
also spend time working on the concept of bucket filling and creating
positive self esteem with my class. This helps them to understand the
importance of being kind to one another. As we think about each other
and how special we are, we can help make other people feel special too.
Here is a great video that shares this idea. My kids love singing along
with it.

Here
is a copy of my paying it forward poster using children instead of
poppies. I hope you will find it helpful in sharing the idea of giving
and sharing during this season and all year round.
