RAK for 9-11

Because first responders really are #1

The theme this month is kindness.  We discussed why kindness is important, and I asked students to pinpoint when it is hard to be kind.  We watched some videos about kindness, including the ever popular Kid President and I read the "How Full Is Your Bucket" for kids book.
Then, with the anniversary of 9-11 coming up, we decided to do a Random Act of Kindness (RAK) for our first responders.

For the police, students wrote a thank you note on a paper donut (they wanted real ones) and then colored them.

 I compiled these into a fun poster that our SRO (School Resource Officer) will pick up tomorrow.


For the firefighters, I resorted to my old steady, the minions.  Students wrote a thank you from BedoBedo the firefighting minion.

 Which resulted in this:


 And for EMS, I double dipped into the minion category for this cute guy.

 Which resulted in this:


I hate sulking on 9-11.  I feel like it just makes the terrorists win.  So I choose to celebrate Freedom tomorrow!
