This morning, students shared their stories of how they celebrated Mother's Day and what they did special. Many moms enjoyed breakfast in bed, while others received special cards. My personal favorite was the gift of peace and quiet. Everyone in the family went for a hike while mom stayed at home for relaxation by herself. However you celebrated, I hope it was the best day ever.
The Act of Kindness assignment this week is "when you see someone in a sad or bad mood, cheer them up." I gave the students some suggestions of how they can cheer others up: Make a poem; Draw a picture; Listen as they talk; Tell a funny joke. Everyone has a bad day and could use a little 'sunshine' brought into by others!
