Kindness Project: Kindness Postcards

Our 2nd week of story time delved into kindness postcards: we selected random citizens of Sylvan Lake for our story time kids to send postcards to! They drew a picture, and wrote them a message, then put their postcards in the mail! 

All of our story time books have an underlying theme of kindness. This week we read:

When I'm Feeling Kind, by Trace Moroney


Good Night, Bat! Good Morning, Squirrel! by Paul Meisel


I Need a Hug, by Aaron Blabey


My Many Colored Days, by Dr. Seuss


Dear Zoo: Animal Shapes, by Rod Campbell


Love From the Very Hungry Caterpillar, by Eric Carle


Snail Brings the Mail, by Russell Punter & Fred Blunt


Around the World: Who's Been Here? by Lindsay Barrett George


After stories, we made our postcards!





And mailed them!


Here are a couple of responses we got from sending out the postcards!



The RCMP sent us a letter back, as well as hats for the kids to wear! 

 



We received such a wonderful response from the community to our Kindness Project! Can't wait to continue it! Next up: random acts of kindness!
