Kindness

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see."

Many schools, including ours, have anti-bullying campaigns.  However, it is equally imporant, in my opinion, that when we get rid of something negative, such as bullying, we replace it with something positive that is equally as powerful.  Hurt people hurt people, so when we are kind to people, we cut down bullying from its root. 

Kindness is a crucial part of my classroom management.  I tell my students from the moment they walk in the door that I will always be the kindest I can to them, and I expect them to be as kind as they can to everyone else.  Kindness can change the world!  You can help grow kindness by modeling and talking about it with your student.
