In our classroom, I strive to teach my students to appreciate their own unique differences and to appreciate others' differences. We all have strengths and weaknesses and its important to use our strengths in positive ways to help others. Its also important to realize what our weaknesses are so that we can grow as individuals and constantly work towards improvement.
We are all WONDERFULLY and UNIQUELY made. Some of us are physically unique in more obvious ways. Through reading Wonder by RJ Palacio, I hope to help my students see a difficult journey through someone else's eyes - someone who is physically unique in an obvious way.
In our classroom we have a "Random Acts of Kindness" bulletin board in which students are asked to document ways that someone has been "randomly kind" to them. (I love to see how quickly this board fills up every year!) I also encourage my students to be intentional in their acts of random kindness towards others, to build others up rather than tear them down. This book and the "Choose Kind" campaign fall right in line with what I hope to instill in my students each year. Through this book, I hope to encourage my students year after year to CHOOSE to be kind and CHOOSE to stand up against bullying.
