The 6th grade week one morning meeting focus skill was KINDNESS. The students participated in many collaboration/group activities throughout the week including things they could do to make their school better TODAY. We wrapped the week up with a game of #hashtagit to build classroom community. You’ll notice 6th grade students performing acts of kindness throughout the week. Snap a “Caught in the Act” picture of them and send them to Ms. Vereen.
