Kindness and empathy have been a crucial part of our social curriculum in first and second grade. So when I heard about the K.I.N.D. (Kids Inspiring Nice Deeds) project, I knew I wanted our class to participate! The K.I.N.D. project combines art and empathy. Student artwork is donated and given to those in need of a little love and encouraging support. (Hospitals, nursing homes, etc.)
Last week Sarah Ahrens, an art teacher extraordinaire, taught our class about Tibetan prayer flags and their connection to sending love and kindness out to the universe. She then gave us a weaving lesson and the class made beautiful weaving art to donate to the K.I.N.D. project. Our weaving circle was a magical experience!
Thank you, Sarah!
