100 Acts of Kindness Project 2012

Author:        


I am really excited! The 100 Acts of Kindess Project starts on Monday (Jan 16th).

It was seriously my favorite four weeks of 2011. 

I was nice...er 

I looked for the positive in my children and my husband tons more than normal...

And I looked outward to serve others a lot.

I am going to challenge you to join us.

How can you participate?

1. Accept the challenge to accomplish 100 acts of kindness with your families or students over the next four weeks (Jan 16-Feb 14). 

2. Let us know in the comments that you are joining us! 

3. Create a way to record your acts of kindness. (Ideas from last year are here and here. We'll share some other ones soon too. You can simply make an X on the calendar or come up with something super creative. The sky is the limit.)

4. Participate in each weekly challenge. We will give you one each Monday for four weeks. They will be simple.  

5. Join us in celebrating your success with a Kindness Celebration on Valentine's Day, Feb 14th!

Married, single, teacher, mom, grandparent, dad, ... whoever... everyone is invited to join in and spread kindness. 

We can all make our homes, classrooms, and workplaces just a little bit better. 

So, will you join us?

Grab a button to add to your blog if you'd like and spread the word.

    I'm in and am so excited to up my game! I am doing the 26 acts of kindness started by Ann Curry and it's been awesome. This will be even better. My 4 year old and I are looking for opportunities to help all over the place. poeticaperture.com

    We are joining late but will extend our project dates. I just wanted to share a great book find we stumbled upon at the library. It is about a school class doing 100 acts of kindness. Very cute! It is titled Kindness is Cooler Mrs. Ruler by Margery Cuyler and even lists 100 acts in the back of the book!They keep track on paper hearts and now my son is excited to do the same!

    We're excited to do this! (The only thing making my OCD go a little crazy is that Kindness is spelled wrong on your button!!) 🙂

      Oh my gosh Christy! LOL. I cannot believe that… and so many of us have been looking at it and no one told me. THANK YOU! Will have to figure out how to change that.

      I obviously have plenty of faults and spelling is not a strong talent, but I do know how to spell kindness. Too funny!

    My adult kids, kids-in-love, and I are participating again this year! I just published my Montessori Monday post with a bit about the 100 Acts of Kindness Project and the button: livingmontessorinow.com/2012/01/16/montessori-monday-montessori-inspiration-for-martin-luther-king-day/

    Because we’re doing the project with adults, we just use the 100 Acts of Kindness Chart from here: readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/living-dream-acts-kindness-259.html?tab=3#tabs

    I am in and have invited my facebook friends to join in as well. I hope it's all right to share your weekly challenges there. We do things like this occasionally on FB and it's fun. I think this will be a challenge but very fun. I have posted it on my blog too. Thanks for the nudge to do something wonderful. <3

    We're joining in. The button is on the blog ( countryfun.edublogs.org). The super calendar is being made this afternoon to include school-age. Also plan on using this in place of our 100th day of school this year.
