Second Grade "Kindness Chain"
Mrs. Dorney's Second grade class celebrated the On Hundredth Day of school by talking about their special gifts and what each person has to offer to the class. They re-read the story Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae which is a wonderful story about being different and each having a gift to share. After they completed the book each of the children received five strips of paper. Each strip of paper had a classmate’s name on it. The children were asked to write one kind thing on the strip about that student. When they were done all of the strips were combined into a kindness chain with 100 hundred kind things about our classmates. At our class meeting each day we read a link from our kindness chain. It might say, “Anne was kind when she helped me with my Math”. It starts a great conversation and the student feels great for the day!
