My Act of Kindness - School/Home Connection

Dear Family,

In class today, we read a book about a woman and the children in her neighborhood.  Many of the neighbors thought Miss Tizzy was odd, but the children loved her for the special attention she gave to them.  When Miss Tizzy was ill, the children got together and did something nice just for her.  In our discussion of the story, we learned about philanthropy, which is the giving of time, talent, or treasure for the common good. We also talked about how a good deed done for others will come back to you.  For a home challenge, and as part of our class participation in The LEAGUE's King Day Event, we are asking students, with the help of their family members, to do something kind for another family member or a neighbor who may need a little extra help.  The kind deed may be as simple as bringing a treat, or as generous as helping with yard work.  You and your child can decide.  When your child has performed the act of kindness, help your child write about the experience explaining the act and describing how it felt.

Describe what you did for a family member or a neighbor.
