Expect Respect - November 2020

EXPECT RESPECT CHARACTER TRAIT: KINDNESS FOCUS FOR NOVEMBER: WORLD KINDNESS DAY
Celebrate World Kindness Day November 13, 2020	The purpose of World Kindness Day is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power and the common thread of kindness which binds us. Learn more about World Kindness Days and ways you can get involved by visiting this website: https://nationaltoday.com/world-kindness-day/
Creating a Culture of Kindness	Remind students that being kind does not require grand gestures. Create a culture of kindness by making a theme for each day of the week: on Mondays, students communicate with an elderly person. On Tuesdays, they are tasked with helping their parents in some way. On Wednesdays, they find a ‘random act of kindness to perform, and on Thursdays, they focus on self-care by doing something that makes them feel good about themselves. On Fridays, students can share some of the kind things that was done throughout the week. Throughout the month, students document and reflect on their actions in gratitude diaries.
Kindness Counts	Getting kids involved in bettering the world around them helps develop both perspective and empathy—and the knowledge that we can all help change the world for the better. The month, families can make cards for local nursing homes and hospitals, assemble blessing bags for homeless shelters, and donate items like winter coats for families in need.
What Kindness Means to Me? Video Montage	Create a schoolwide video with quotes from various individuals responding to the prompt: What Kindness Means to Me?

Kindness Quotes	Start your child’s day off with positivity. Share a quote of the day with your child each morning that focuses on kindness. Here are some examples of kindness quotes: “It’s nice to be important, but it is MORE important to be nice.” “If you can be anything, be kind.” “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” “Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.”
Kindness Challenge	As a family, focus on being more kind to each other and recognize when kindness is being displayed. Record all kind acts that happen throughout the month within your household. Challenge your child to do at least one kind thing each day and you do the same. At the end of each week, recap all of the kind acts that were done by each family member.
Taking Care of the Earth	Being kind to the earth is key. Teach your child ways to recycle, reuse, and reduce in order to do their part in taking care of the earth. Some ideas: start recycling your trash, reuse grocery store bags, jars, and containers instead of throwing them away, reduce the amount of water that your household uses by taking shorter showers and cutting the water off while brushing your teeth.
