Happy Kindness Week!
This week our school participated in Kindness Week and The Great Kindness Challenge! As a part of our focus on kindess, classrooms were encouraged to decorate their doors. We decorated ours with individual puzzle pieces to show that each one of us is unique yet we all belong together! Everyone colored a piece to the puzzle and included their name and the different things that they love and enjoy (even Ms. Josie and myself!)
The Great Kindess Challenge consisted of 50 different acts of kindness that our class had to complete in one week. Some of the items were create a "Kindess Matters" poster, give a flower to the office staff, thank the bus driver, give an apple to your teacher (thank you for those!!!) and thank your principal in a creative way. We managed to complete ALL 50 items on the list! The kids did a great job showing kindness all week.
One other item from the list was to cut out 10 hearts and give them to friends.
Another item was to help a younger student. A few kids from our class went to one of the preschool classrooms on Friday and helped the preschoolers with making patterns.
Friday we celebrated our 100th day of school!
The kids had such a blast! We grouped fruit loops by tens to make an editable necklace...
We created art using the number 100...
And we made silly hats that also showed 100 by groups of 10.
Thank you to everyone who has already turned in permission slips for our upcoming field trip to the Onizuka Space Center. We had a generous donation from Aloha Productions who is paying the way for our entire grade level to go on this field trip! What a great and unexpected act of kindess we received during Kindness Week! Field trip day for our class will be Monday, February 22nd.
I also want to say mahalo to you, parents and families, for all you do and making this such a wonderful past 100 days of school!
Mrs. Kawai
