A picture book about the power of kindness.

When Tanisha spills grape juice all over her new dress, her classmate contemplates how to make her feel better and what it means to be kind. From asking the new girl to play to standing up for someone being bullied, this moving and thoughtful story explores what a child can do to be kind, and how each act, big or small, can make a difference--or at least help a friend.

]]> 2019-03-19 19:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hiclaudia/LLED351grade3/wish/343060163 Evaluation of Resources hiclaudia https://padlet.com/hiclaudia/LLED351grade3/wish/343065672 We curated these resources (print, technology, people, places, others) for our Grade 3 Kindness unit. These multi-modal resources can be used beyond English Language Arts and  can be extended to be used for cross-curricular studies.

For our technology resources, we chose kid-friendly websites ("Class Dojo Empathy Videos") because they used kid-friendly language and are visually appealing. The other websites we provided are also oriented for kids but also provide extra resources and plans for educators.

For print, the books we chose include Indigenous picture books (ex. The Polar Bear Son), books that discuss about diversity (ex. The Name Jar), and books about LGBTQ2+. The books focus on a progression of kindness, starting from recognizing feelings, to empathy, to recognize signs of bullying, and advocacy. We hope that these resources help students understand the importance of kindness, but are also relevant, relatable, and engaging for our students. 

We selected these resources because they cover a wide range of situations, cultures, people, and places. For places, we suggest arranging a field trip to visit a local assisted senior facility. We feel that this field trip would allow the students to give back to their community and also learn more about the importance of intergenerational knowledge. Kindness is not just about being kind in school but also being kind in their community. 
These resources are valid for our unit because they focus on kindness and provide examples of where kindness exists. These resources can be used for other grades.

Hold a teddy bear drive at your school to collect donations. If it is not feasible to do the teddy bear drive with the local hospital, you can arrange to give donations to your local police station or fire department. 
"A cuddly friend could be a huge comfort to a scared child. Schools are filled with kids who have grown out of the need for stuffed animals. Part ways with a few of your furry friends and make an impact in another child’s life." ]]> 2019-03-19 20:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hiclaudia/LLED351grade3/wish/343070583 Clean-up the Community https://padlet.com/hiclaudia/LLED351grade3/wish/343073522 Arrange a period the day for your class to go out an clean-up the school field or a nearby park.
