A class up in Canada (Joysofkinder) started The Kindness Ninja movement and sent us an invitation to become Kindness Ninjas! It included a guide written by them, directions, the Kindness Ninja Pledge, a Kindness Ninja Master, a plaque, and two headbands. I went out and bought a 3’ x 3’ piece of felt and made ninja headbands for the class, then presented the kids with the kit! We read their guide, put on our kindness ninja headbands, took the pledge, put our thumbprint on the plaque to seal our pledge and voila! We were now official Kindness Ninjas! The kids could not wait to do our first RAK (Random Act of Kindness)! I mentioned they could change the world with kindness and they were very doubtful. “We can’t change the world,” was heard over and over. We read the book Ordinary Mary’s Extrordinary Deed. It’s about how one girls random act of kindness in the end affected millions of people. One little girl ended up changing the world through her on little act. It really helped them understand how powerful their acts of kindness can be! It was Mrs. Rigg’s Birthday so we decided to RAK her! They were so excited! They painted a banner to hang outside her door. She was so surprised and said she felt so loved. She also wondered who in the world the kindness ninjas were! What was really cool was our act of kindness inspired her to have her class do an act of kindness for another teacher. When I told th skids, they saw how there acts of incense was already spreading kindness around our school! Our next act of kindness was to make a book for Miss Reese filled with kind words about her! We got ready to deliver it to her room without being seen! We had been practicing our stealth ninja moves! We had brainstormed kind words when we made Miss Reese’s book. I set up an area where they could write notes of kindness to friends and family. This was a very popular station with good authentic writing! Our Next RAK was to create posters that would encourage others to choose kindness. We used our stealth ninja moves to hang them up where there was a lot of traffic before anyone could see us! We often repeat our pledge to help us remember to choose kindness that day! Next, we decided to RAK our beloved Literacy Lab Teacher, Mrs. Coberly! They painted hearts and wrote words of kindness on them to Mrs. Coberly. More authentic writing experiences! That is when they always do their best writing! Using our stealth ninja moves, we taped them all to Mrs. Coberly’s door. She was so happy! She came up and told us that it made her day and she planned on spreading the kindness, but wondered if we had any idea who the kindness ninjas were? The kids all said they had no idea! They really want to keep their identity a secret! They came up with the idea of sending out Kindness Ninja kits like the one we had received! It was perfect because I had been getting requests on social media for kits. We studied maps so that we could figure out where we were sending the kits and keep track. They painted Kindness Ninja Masters. We made “A Beginner’s Guide to Becoming a Kindness Ninja (more authentic writing happening!) and I typed up directions, the pledge and made plaques, then cut headbands. I put them in envelopes to send off. Unfortunately, the ones going out of the U.S. were going to cost $10 to send and I had fourteen that needed to be sent internationally. So unfortunately, I had to take the Kindness Ninja Master out of the international ones. The ones sent within the U.S. came with Kindness Ninja Masters. We told them to tag us on social media when they did their Random Acts of Kindness. We can’t wait to see how we have helped spread kindness all over the world! I am so thankful to the class from Joysofkinder who sent us our invite and started this wonder wat to teach kids about how kindness affects the world! We will keep you updated as we continue our Random Acts of Kindness!
