Happy Valentine's Day and RAK #8

My students so love RAKing that they decided to spend part of their party on Valentine's Day creating a delivering a Random Act of Kindness to the teachers in our school!  I was incredibly proud of them.  It truly is an honor to be their teacher.

Students worked on creating a heart wreath.  We then added a note that said, "Just like a wreath, our love and respect for you will never end.  Happy Valentine's Day!  Love, Miss Mason's third graders."  These were completed on Wednesday and then were delivered on Thursday during our party.  The joy on teachers' faces was priceless.  My students were so excited to have the chance to share some love.  They said that we needed to remember teachers on this day because they work so hard to make the parties fun and exciting.  They deserve a reward too!  I hope that my colleagues were as excited to receive them, as we were to give our wreaths.

Delivering our special wreaths.  I loved watching the interactions between my kids and the staff.  Even my shy students were so excited to share!

The proud R.A.K.ers!!!  Happy Valentine's Day!!

You've Been R.A.K.ed #7

I've fallen behind on posting about my class' progress on our Random Acts of Kindness.  A few weeks ago, students worked on and carried out our 7th R.A.K!  Only 19 more to go!!

My students decided to work on an act for the other third grade class in our building.  They made signs that said "We think you're EXTRA special!"  Each of those students were also given a piece of gum.  It was such a hit, that my class was R.A.K.ed back!!

This is such a fun project and I have enjoyed getting to do with my students.  They work to earn our RAK time each and it is something that they take extreme pride in doing.  If you have suggestions of any other Random Acts that we could do here at school, we'd love to hear them!
