I know that as a parent, I place a great deal of value on kindness. I wonder if my son feels that way.<br />As a teacher, I try to build habits of kindness with my students. I've used Ron Clark's Essential 55 as a starting point in the past. Getting kids to pick up a dropped item, hold the door for others, and look for opportunities to perform random acts of kindness is a great start. I look forward to hearing how you are able to inspire more kindness in your classroom.Jim Windischhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12768292429654933591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144988819656755141.post-24248766691880888602014-07-01T10:09:03.774-05:002014-07-01T10:09:03.774-05:00Love this.

It grew out of a student group from Fairview High School (in Tennessee) and has caught on across the county. Right now there is a "Be Nice" tour going around the world with Williamson County schools.

As a person who builds relationships with kids, this is important! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190359791187413011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144988819656755141.post-48577262320125546442014-07-01T08:10:56.281-05:002014-07-01T08:10:56.281-05:00Jen - timely blog post!
