Kindness Challenge!

Check out the link below for a "Kindness Challenge" that we have recently begun in our classroom!  Each student has their own game board that they are working towards filling out.  The game board has small, random acts of kindness that they can work on throughout the day.  Be sure to ask your child about their game board and the kindness they are spreading!
