If there’s one thing every classroom needs more of besides snacks, t’s kindness. Whether you’re setting the tone during the first week of school or celebrating World Kindness Day, building a classroom culture of empathy and respect is one of the most impactful things we can do as educators.
That’s why I created a collection of kindness resources for elementary classrooms. These products designed to make it easy (and fun!) to weave kindness into your everyday instruction. From reader’s theaters and writing prompts to scavenger hunts and escape rooms, these resources help students practice being kind while also building reading, writing, and problem-solving skills.
With 80 of my favorite read alouds that feature kindness, you are sure to find just right books for your little learners to engage with. Download it here for free!
Kindness Activities brings 28 pages filled with meaningful, engaging, and creative activities to help students explore, express, and spread kindness in fun and thoughtful ways! From Kindness Quilts to Compliment Cards, it helps learners of all ages choose kindness. Grab it here!
