🌈💛 Kindness is always in style in Kindergarten! 💛🌈

This week, our kindergarteners focused on all things friendship! We talked about what it means to be a good friend, how our words can make others feel, and the importance of showing kindness every day.

We made friendship bracelets for our classmates and completed our Rainbow of Kindness craft. Each student had to think of something kind and special to say about friends in our class. By the end, every rainbow was filled with kind words from their classmates. 💕

It was such a sweet reminder that kind + kindergarten = the perfect pair!

Eight young elementary school students stand in two rows against a painted cinder block wall, holding up personalized "be a rainbow of kindness" art projects. Five children stand in the back row, and two kneel or sit in the front. Each project consists of a large sheet of blue paper with a cloud cutout at the top labeled "be a rainbow of kindness," below which several colorful strips of paper hang down like a rainbow, each containing handwritten compliments and acts of kindness. One child's face in the back row is covered by a yellow smiley face emoji. The children are all smiling enthusiastically at the camera.

An overhead shot shows a group of young children and one adult gathering their arms together in a central circle to display colorful handmade pony bead bracelets. Each person wears a custom-made bracelet made of colorful plastic beads stringed on clear or white cord. The children wear a variety of casual clothing, including a red "Spider-Man" t-shirt, and stand on a blue carpet with yellow pattern accents.
