Teaching Kindness

"Nothing can make our life, or the lives  of other people, more beautiful than perpetual kindness." 
- Leo Tolstoy 

      This idea of kindness has never been more prevalent in my building that it has been this past few weeks.  Some staff members noticed the stress that was consuming so many of the teachers and they decided to take action! (IB in action).  Each week these teachers have challenged us to acknowledge each other and our successes.  It is not big things that make a difference, but just these little moments that can change someone's day.
  It started with #fantastic5  find 5 people and give them a postive shout out on instagram, twitter, or other media.



    This week, inspired by this video, the staff have been leaving little messages for one another. I tell you, it does put a little smile on your face when you see a little post it on your door with a positive message.  I love this staff!!

  1. I LOVE THIS CONCEPT! So often teachers need these positive notes of affirmation, just like students do! I am going to share these ideas with our SIP team for "climate improvement" at Abraham Lincoln. Thanks for the great post!
