Kids this week have been participating in the Great Kindness Challenge.

The Great Kindness Challenge is a series of tasks that you check off while you do them, which includes saying thank you to crossing guards, slip a friendly note into your friends backpack, give an apple to your teacher, smile at twenty five people, and many others. The point of the challenge is to get people into good habits like being kind. Teachers don’t want kindness to last just one week while the challenge goes on, but to keep being kind throughout life.

The week started out like it usually does, there was some kindness here and there, but it was usually a mixture between kind and unkind. As the week progressed students became much more kind motivated by the kindness challenge. The question is why can’t the kindness last after the Great Kindness Challenge? I hope that this year the kindness will progress even after the great kindness challenge.

The Great Kindness Challenge was a fun activity for students to over the week. Hopefully the Great Kindness challenge will also improve kindness.
