This book has inspired me to think of ways that I can made the world a better place.  I have started working with my students to start a chain reaction of “random acts of kindness” throughout our school.  I know that sometimes to makes it more special when you do an random act of kindness without anyone knowing but… if you want to share and idea, a project, or something you have done to make the world a little better from someone else, please do!  We promise not to pat you on the back or send praises but know that we are all smiling on the inside!!  Here is a link to a video clip about a girl named Madison who decided to use her talents to make a difference.  I love her quote, “My dream was always to change the world and so this I am not changing the world as a whole but changing one kid’s world with every pair of shoes I send out.”  Go Madison!!!  Thanks for inspiring… you’re changing the whole world.
