GRADE 7 REPORT:
Celebrations
In Grade 7, we are celebrating a wonderful start to our ‘Random Acts of Kindness’ initiative. We have started a ‘Kindness Bingo’ which is a battle between the classes. Each week, every class in Grade 7 are striving to achieve as many random acts of kindness as possible. This may be as simple as holding the door open for a peer, tidying up the classroom without being asked, giving a compliment, writing a ‘thank you’ note to somebody to express gratitude, or lending a hand to someone in need. We have been so impressed with the way our students have approached this challenge with such a positive attitude and we can’t wait to embrace even more kindness in the coming weeks.
In addition, Grade 7 students and teachers have access to a ‘kindness nomination form’, where students can be nominated for acts of kindness. Each Monday morning during our grade assembly, we will randomly select one of our worthy nominees to receive a prize.
As Harold S. Kushner famously quoted, you should ‘do things for people, not because of who they are or what they do in return, but because of who you are’.
Grade Focus
Random Acts of Kindness – thinking about how we can make everybody’s day a little bit better, by being kind, generous and caring. We are focused on finishing the year positively and making positive choices.
