Kindness Recycled and Recess Rocks

In a world where you can be anything..... BEE KIND! 

This week, we were SO lucky! Andrea Munroe came and shared a very special (fast-growing) movement called Kindness Recycled. For more information, you can check out the website: KINDNESS RECYCLED

What we love about this project is the magic we can create when we follow the 5:1 ratio for spreading acts of kindness. 

The project is described as having the following components: a social movement from the heart,

a message amplifier and an opportunity to improve our environment.

We are planning to share this important message and project with as many classes as possible! Mrs. Corcoran was the first to take this on and all first graders had a chance to hear about this project on Thursday morning. 

Thank you, Zachary, for joining us to help!

Great work! 

A great example of some of the words we chose. 

Thanks for helping Miss Julie!

Everyone is working so hard!

The kind acts flow out into the hallway! Look at all of the sweet messages.

RECESS REALLY DOES ROCK! 

Be on the lookout for order forms VERY SOON for our RECESS T-SHIRTS! We will take orders first and then reveal the artwork that was selected! It was a very tough choice! 

We were fortunate enough to continue with Recess Rocks professional development training at Wawaloam School yesterday, there were 16 participants! 7 Metcalf staff members were welcomed to join the fun and games to introduce the Recess Rocks program that helps ensure that recess is a safe, meaningful and healthy experience for every child.  Group management and conflict resolution tools were presented, as well as how recess, play, and physical activity can positively impact school climate and student success.

Looks like we have a winner!

It was great to be able to share our successful Wawaloam Recess Rocks experience with Metcalf School! Check out all of the fun that was had!
