The counseling program theme for February is Choose Kindness. We use MindUp mindup.org/which emphasizes optimism, gratitude, and kindness. The definition for in the MindUp curriculum for K-2 is "Kindness means caring about or helping someone or something. It is a mindful choice." In the 3-5 curriculum the definition is "Kindness is a mindful choice to treat someone or something is a friendly,caring way." I like how theri definition blends mindfulness and kindness.
If you want to do a schoolwide Kindness month checkout simpleacts.org/kindness-month Another great resource for kindness is randomactsofkindness.org/ It gives educators great ideas about how to bring kindness into the classroom. We do RAK week based on their materials and highlight RAK Day of February 17 nationalday
