Kindness Week (Anti-Violence Awareness Week)
During this week, schools are required to provide students, parents, school district staff and law enforcement opportunities to discuss methods for keeping schools safe from violence, to consider school safety and security plans; and to learn how to recognize students in need of help. (New Jersey Department of Education)
At Franklin we recognize this week as Kindness Week. We will have activities during the course of the week to focus on being kind to ourselves and one another. Here are some themes for next week:
Monday - "Throw Kindness Like Confetti" - Encourage each student to grab a post-it and write something inspirational, uplifting, or a note of encouragement and stick it ANYWHERE in the school!
Tuesday - "Things We Should Say More Often" Encourage students to be the person that can change someone's life by giving them a compliment. Check out what Kid President has to say here, Things We Should Say More Often
Wednesday - "Pass the Smile Challenge" - say, "hello" and smile to at least 10 people today. Someone smiling at you? Be sure to smile back.
Thursday - "Kindness Scavenger Hunt" - Can you check off all of these today? (This will be things like, hold a door, pick up something for someone, give a high five, cheer someone up, ask someone to play with you at recess etc.)
Friday - "Be Kind to Your Mind" Being kind to others starts with being kind to yourself. Give yourself a hug, breathe and have a great Friday!
