It’s one thing to say be kind; it’s another to actually put
it into practice. We talk about this a lot in LA8. We have been making our
Random Acts of Kindness commercials for several weeks now. This week we are off
around the school to be the leaders in #operationfriendliness and showcase our commercials
and suggest ways students can be kind to one another. Next week is the big
week! It’s #operationfriendliness week! Our aim as a class is to raise awareness
to how small, authentic acts of kindness can change people’s days for the
better and it motivates them to be kind and so on. We believe kindness is
contagious and we can’t wait to observe the ripple effect this will have.
We are currently reading a book called Wonder. It’s about a
young boy who was born with severe facial deformities. It follows his
introduction back to school in Year 5 and the inner strength he must show in
the face of unkind students and members of the community. As we read on we may
just reveal that luckily for August there are some very kind students in his
new school who may just make his days a little better.
It’s always a good reminder to treat others the way we want
to be treated and this includes the way we use our words. I often remind those around
me that words can not be “sucked back in”- once they are out, they are out for
good. Likewise kind words can really lift the spirits of others- they cost
nothing and are so easy to use!
So what’s your Random Act of Kindness going to be today? Let
us know in the comments below on paper, scissors…

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're enjoying the book. Yes, it's fun being kind, isn't it!
DeleteThis book is so interesting, our #operationfriendliness is so much fun. Cant wait for week 4.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I'm really excited to see so much kindness going on.
DeleteWhat an absolutely beautiful message to spread not just throughout Tapping, but the rest of the world too!! Also, what a better way to show how little acts and selfishness, kindness, or even humour can change how someone's feeling or how their day goes, so make sure that is always positive! I love how La8-is discussing it and trying to help those in need of a little love and kindness as usual! You guys are all so great!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ffion! I'm excited to see the impact next week. I'll post about it next week, so stay tuned.
DeleteI love when lily comes home and ask if we can see the movie
ReplyDeleteOh that's the best!
DeleteHey mrs g, I know that this post was ages ago but #opertaionfriendliness isn't ages ago! It's everyday! Haha
ReplyDelete"Wonder" is amazing it was really upsetting when we found out about daisy!!
I love the book. mrs Gill I hope you still use the blog in your new school.
ReplyDeleteHi Lily! I will always use the blog, I've been overdue for a post haven't I? I can't wait to see the movie!
DeleteHi Mrs Gill, so sorry I haven't commented sooner. I've been neck deep in homework ever since I started year 7 and it's not the most pleasing thing in the world to say the least. How's Pancake-I-wanna going? I'm hoping your class is doing well, are you reading any books? I'm currently reading 'Insomnia' by Stephen king and it is A-MA-ZING! Not one for the faint-hearted or young by any means but still pretty awesome. The library at my school lets you borrow 5 books at a time and I'm in heaven. Anyways, I have homework to do so I best end this comment here but best wishes to your class and yourself and I will try my best to comment again sometime soon!
ReplyDeleteSending love and kindness from back here in Perth :)
