THIS WEEK’S LESSON
Kindness
Opening Activity
Watch “The Importance of Kindness” (2-min video) in which writer George Saunders recounts the story of a girl named Ellen who was in his 7th grade class and how the class mistreated her.
Discuss:
George Saunders says that he was nice to Ellen — that he “sometimes even mildly defended her.” He also says that he regrets his failure of kindness.
Do you know anyone like Ellen at your school? Have you ever seen them being picked on?
What would kindness look like in that situation?
What can we do as a family to show more kindness?
