⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Emily G. says, "This resource has a ton of activities! I sent home the kindness calendar and it was a hit with my students but my students parents loved it."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amy P. says, "This was a great resource to use in a self-contained classroom that was really struggling with kindness, respect and getting along.
