Today marks the official start of our 100 Acts of Kindness Project, as well as our first Kindness Challenge.
This week's challenge: Make 5 "Thank You" cards and give them to people you've never thought to thank before . . .
. . . like your mail carrier, the men and women at your local fire/police station, a soldier, your favorite story time librarian, the teller at the bank who always gives your child a lollipop, etc..
I created this simple stippling template to make our "Thanks" notes (as seen above), and the kids had fun filling in the dots using an eraser tip/q-tip dipped in paint.
Deborah from Teach Preschool also has a great post on making Thank You cards using your child's artwork (pictured below).
Who will you thank? Do you have any fun ideas for making and writing thank you notes?
I am so ready for this amazing challenge.
Ok I am ready to this amazing challenge.
<3 for my family and specialy me..,
oh I always arrive late for these things LOL
Ok, I love the idea and I Love random acts of kindness already, but to have it organised like this sounds really cool and challenging!
And I bet there are a few other late ones like me, will you consider having a second round ?
Or shall I do it on my own starting tomorrow May the 14th 2012?
Thanks kindly!
Jackie
On-to-it. Definitely something to make someones day, and definitely something we should do more often!
We are blogging about this at dothanacreshomeschool.blogspot.com/2012/01/100-acts-of-kindness-project-2012.html
Great idea, we will get working on some cards.
This is wonderful. Just what I've been looking for. This will be a great way to teach my kiddos. Gratitude is a wonderful thing to show. I want my girls to have this. I'll be following your 100 acts of kindness project.
Ok, I clearly didn't read all the way through this. We'll be sending out regular thank yous and thanking others! Like our barista :), our storytime leader at the library and our mailman!
Love this! We still need to send out our Thank you cards for Christmas gifts so we'll be sending those out soon!
You know I was just thinking that I was going to have us write thank you notes as part of the challenge bc we are long overdue. What a great challenge!
Great challenge … I always love gratitude activities! We might include some e-greeting thank you's. I just added this link to my post today at livingmontessorinow.com/2012/01/16/montessori-monday-montessori-inspiration-for-martin-luther-king-day/
