Topic of the day : K for Kindness
Activity #2 Brain storming: Students were presented 2 scenarios to understand what kindness is. We discussed what is Kindness, how we show kindness and why we should be kind.
Kindness is being generous, gentle, good natured, helping all the time, sharing. We show kindness using speech and actions with our hands and feet. When we are kind, we feel good inside in us and others feel good too! God rewards for being kind.
Activity #3 Student drew happy and sad face on the index card and glued popsicle sticks on it. One of our students read the scenarios displayed , all students showed happy face to act of kindness in the scenario and sad face to the unkind scenario to show their understanding regarding kind actions.
