A fifth-grade classroom at Bernice Vossbeck Elementary has taken the goal of spreading kindness across the entire school upon themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of social-emotional learning, Sarah Farlow\u2019s classroom worked to create their own \u201ckindness challenges\u201d to increase kindness to students across multiple grade levels, calling themselves \u201cKindness Ambassadors.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey are very excited,\u201d Farlow says, \u201cand I\u2019m proud of what they\u2019ve put together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two groups of students created skills that they performed during lunch time and two of the groups handed out kindness notes at lunch as students were heading out to recess. Two other groups spent time crafting and hanging posters about kindness around the school. Along with the posters, the students created videos to explain the posters, something other teachers within the school can share with their classes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m hoping this project solidifies positive leadership and connection between classes,\u201d Farlow says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As kindness spread across BVE, the students lead the effort. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
