February's Character Education trait was Kindness, and each class was assigned a secret 'buddy' class to surprise with three separate acts of kindness. Our first act was to scrub down desks and chairs, while grade 2 and 5 were away from their room. We almost got caught, but that just made it more exciting.
Our second act was a cookie and candy flower bouquet, which we left to be enjoyed, as well as dozens of paper hearts all over the other classrooms.
Finally we gave the teachers a much deserved break - by spending time reading with their students. We learned that not only is it easy, but it's also a lot of fun to treat others with kindness.
