The ABCs of Kindness Class Book
In my class, kindness is key.
We have discussions throughout the year about what it means to show kindness, and we practice kindness daily.

For older students (i.e. my First grade class), it is a handy little booklet that allows students to learn about new emotions as well as illustrate how someone's face make look when they are feeling "embarrassed" or "jealous."
