Tales from the Teacher's Lounge

As most teachers do, we take these moments in time and turn them into teachable moments using them to create learning experiences that are captivating and inspiring. After seeing the way my students banded together to create the ornaments in a very short time, I started thinking about Ann Curry's 26 random acts of kindness tweet that has since gone viral.
I figured they would really hop on board with a project that revolved around charitable acts. I am so impressed with the way things are taking off. I can't wait to share more with you as we work on the project and choose an appropriate way to present it.
I encourage all teachers reading this to take these real-life situations and turn them into more teachable moments. I have students that "don't care" about anything truly invested in this. They have come up with acts of kindness ranging from taking the neighbor's trash to the road to going into the self-contained special education classroom to work with the students and read them books.
It's a valuable lesson for all of us to realize what a little kindness can do for someone. Even more valuable to know that a random act of kindness is free and rewarding for both giver and recipient.
