KINDNESS MONTH: LUNCHTIME ACTIVITY
Category: Library Fun
February In The Learning Commons
kindness tree
We challenge you this month to spot acts of kindness that are happening around the school. When you catch someone in the act, ask your teacher for a HEART, and write it down. We will add all of the hearts to the Kindness Tree, featured on the window outside of the Learning Commons. With your help, we hope to see the Kindness Tree in full bloom by the end of the month!

For the first two weeks in February, you can make Valentine’s cards during your lunchtime in the Learning Commons. If you are interested in making a card, please take a look at the Valentine’s Day Card blog post, and sign up. Don’t forget to bring your scissors, glue, drawing supplies, and a thin sharpie. We will have the rest of the supplies that you need!
