100 Ways to Show Kindness for the 100th Day

We recently had the 100^th day of school, a fun day for all grades in the Lower School!  As a way to get ready for the 100^th day, third graders worked to come up with 100 ways to show kindness, which they wrote on individual hearts.  As they worked, students quickly noticed that it would take a lot of time (and writing!) to get to 100.  We decided to enlist the rest of the Lower School to get the job done.  Students split up into pairs to go to each classroom to explain our project and to drop off blank hearts on which friends from other classes could write their ideas about kindness.

 

As students have completed their hearts, we have been hanging them in the lower school lobby.  Our class has loved reading everyone’s ideas and have been excitedly counting how many hearts there are and figuring out how many more we need to get to 100.  Although we did not get to 100 by the 100^th day, we did surpass our goal soon after.  Our current count stands at 103.

If you have a chance next time you are in the lobby of the lower school, read through our ideas about kindness.  Feel free to fill out one of the hearts on the table and add it to our collection!
