KINDNESS MATTERS
This month's theme focuses on the importance of being kind to others and to ourselves.
We've included resources on how to use math manipulatives, books that cultivate kindness in kids, and tips on how to practice acts of kindness every day!

“The longer I live, the more I notice how valuable it is to do one simple thing: be kind. Being kind barely costs a thing. You'll hardly remember you did it, but the other person may never forget that you did.”
-James Clear, author of Atomic Habits
