The Ripple Effect of Kindness Bulletin Board gives your class a visual record of the kind acts students commit during a kindness unit, Random Acts of Kindness Week, Kindness Month, World Kindness Day, or the whole school year. Students write their acts of kindness on the rocks and add them to the board, and the board grows as the kindness in your classroom grows.

- KINDNESS creates ripples!
- Acts of KINDNESS create ripples of goodness in the world!

HOW THIS RESOURCE HELPS YOU AND YOUR STUDENTS
- Students see how one act of kindness can spread to others, which gives your kindness discussions a concrete picture to return to.
- The board becomes an interactive collection of students' own acts of kindness instead of decoration only.
- Classroom teachers, school counselors, and administrators can use the kit for one classroom or as a school-wide kindness focus.
