At Noble we have tied this activity into our reading of Wonder. If you and your scholar are keeping up with the reading schedule, you know that last night Auggie overheard a very hurtful comment about his appearance by someone whom he thought was a friend. The comment was so devasting to Auggie, that he stayed home from school the following day.
WALK UP INSTEAD OF OUT ACTIVITIES:
- Throughout the day all techers are being asked to briefly discuss this part of the book, with a focus on the power of BEING KIND.
- Each Noble Scholar will be given a sticker to wear that says I CHOOSE KIND.
- Tomorrow Noble Scholars will also be encouraged to:
walk up to the scholar who sits alone at lunch and invite him/her to sit with their group of friends.
walk up to a new student, smile, and say "Hi!"
walk up to their teachers and thank them.
walk up to talk to someone whose appearance may be different from theirs.
walk up and talk to someone who has different views and get to know them.
We are hoping that by beginning this journey of kindness our scholars will learn how much we really have in common with one another and the powerful impact of a kind word.
#CHOOSEKIND
FYI - We are connecting the WALK UP to Wonder and choosing acts of kindness, as a result we will not mention the events that took place in Florida as we know that this is a sensitive topic due to the young age of our Noble Scholars.
