May is Kindness Month!
May is kindness month! Students will focus on
using kind words and encouraging others during the
first week of May. Students will learn about helping
hands and cooperation in the second week. In the
third week, we will be doing random acts of kindness.
Students are encouraged to wear “It’s Cool to be
Kind” t-shirts every Friday in May.
We will celebrate May 24th as “Incredible Kid Day.”
Each student will receive a letter from an adult that
shows their love and support. Parents will be asked to
write to their child or have someone special write
them. The letter needs to be sent to the classroom
teacher by May 17th. These letters make students feelMay is kindness month!
