For World Kindness Day, the second grade celebrated by sharing over 100 acts of kindness and filling our kindness jar for the first time this year. The kindness jar is our way of recognizing and showing gratitude for thoughtful gestures, no matter how small. Every day, we close the day by thanking friends for specific kind-hearted acts that were experienced throughout the day. Typically, students thank their classmates, but occasionally they thank teachers, former teachers, family members, and friends outside of our school community.
