World Kindness Day 2018

November 13 is World Kindness Day. This year we focused on spreading kindness within Field School. Every classroom is paired with a buddy classroom for the year. Together the older students mentor, help, and support the younger grade levels. For this year's World Kindness Day, students created kindness cards and notes for their buddy classroom. All of the students were under the impression that they were the only class completing this kind act. Much to their surprise, when the cards were delivered to their buddy classroom, they also received cards! Their astonishment and surprise were exciting. The students were even more surprised because with the cards, there were also small gifts like pens, crayons, keychains, magazines, small toys, and water bottles that were donated by local businesses: The Village of Wheeling, IL Police Department, Traffic Tech Inc, Indian Trails Public Library, Lakeshore Learning, and Nanooze.
