Curriculum Objective - Develop the concept of justice, responsibility and empathy through a discussion of issues such as “Why share?”, “Why be sorry?”, “Why be kind to each other?
Why be Kind? (May 25th - June 5th)
Why be Kind? (May 25th - June 5th)
Start by discussing with your child it means to be kind. Kindness can mean many different things. Sometimes, it is doing something nice for someone else. Sometimes, it is treating someone the way they want to be treated in the moment. Other times, it is doing our part to clean up and take care of the environment. Kindness is even about being loving and thoughtful to ourselves.
Encourage your child to come up with a list of ways to be kind.
Your child migh come up with lots of different acts of kindness, from opening the door for someone else to helping mammy or daddy at home. What’s most important is that your child notice we can show kindness in big and small ways every single day..
Here is a choice board that your child might like to complete over the coming weeks.
