Last week, South Elementary 1st Graders celebrated World Kindness Day with a kindness-focused ELA Unit using the text "Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed." Students took part in several kindness challenges, including making thank you notes for community helpers, posting kind words of affirmation around the school, sending cards to Mr. Warstadt, writing positive messages on the sidewalk in front of the school, and much more! Students were able to apply their ELA and writing skills to put kindness into action, and learned the value of paying it forward. #WildcatExcellence #WorldKindnessDay
