What Does it Mean to be Kind?
Asking yes/no questions:
Do you stick up for someone who is bullied?
Is it kind to notice when someone is sad and taking time to understand why?
Should we treat others the way we want to be treated?
Is it kind to pick up trash that isn't yours?

rocks
paint
paint brush

Paint rocks any color.

Give your rock to someone or put it at the bottom of people's mailboxes to see everyday!
Salt Tray
You will need:
zip lock bag
table salt
food coloring
paper towel or sheet of paper
Directions:
in a zip lock bag: put 1 1/2 cups table salt and 24 drops of food dye
Close the bag and shake / knead it until the color is evenly distributed.
Spread mixture in a thin layer on a paper towel or sheet of paper. Allow to dry for 30-60 minutes.
Ideas for Using Your Salt Tray:
• Write in the salt tray with the pointer finger of the dominant hand. Gently shake the salt tray to “erase” words.
• For young children, place an uppercase or lowercase letter card next to the salt tray as a visual reference. Have your child write the letter in the salt.
• Older kids can practice phonograms and spelling words by writing them in a salt tray.
• If your child struggles with letter reversals, writing in a salt tray provides extra reinforcement of correct letter formation.
