This year, we are excited to use PurposeFull People, a program that teaches students skills for success in school and life. We believe students need to feel safe, included, and connected while learning skills to face challenges. This month, we are focusing on Kindness as a character trait. You might want to engage in conversation with your students asking:

  • What does Kindness mean to you?
  • What is something Kind you did for someone else today?

Creemos que los estudiantes necesitan sentirse seguros, incluidos y conectados mientras aprenden a enfrentar desafíos. Este mes, nos enfocamos en la Amabilidad como rasgo de carácter.

Puede conversar con su estudiante y preguntarle:

  • ¿Qué significa la amabilidad para ti?
  • ¿Qué cosa amable hiciste hoy por otra persona?
