The Kindness Crew

I was browsing the web trying to find a spectacular story about an act of kindness. This being my fourth post I want to find something that would intrigue someone who is reading my blog. As I searched, the same old story came up or the same websites I used before. It was so frustrating! I soon stumbled across a website which I think is worth mentioning. It is the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. I couldn’t that there was a website that is labeled Random Acts of Kindness. What a perfect topic for Good Samaritans.

As I browsed through the website, I came across some fascinating things. The first link I clicked on was the Kindtimes Newsletter. There were hundreds of posts from people that did random acts of kindness for the people around them and posted what they did for others to read. It was amazing to see the amount of posts there were. I read through some of them and one post really caught my eye. It was titled the Kindness Crew. In this newsletter, the members of this crew talked about the kind acts they did for people, and how they tried to encourage the people around them to do the same. I loved seeing that to be a Good Samaritan people don’t think that they have to do huge acts to achieve this name.

I then clicked to the next link labeled Kindness Days. It was all different graphics and calendars that people had created for them to remind themselves about doing these acts. There were bookmarks, calendars, and bumper stickers to help themselves and the other people around them. There were also cards and poems to send to people you love. Another link on the website encourages people to go and create their own kindness website. It gave ideas and themes for the websites. A lot of people have created websites just from this one link.

Finally at the top of the page there was a link labeled In Your Classroom. This caught my eye the most being that I want to have a successful classroom in the future. There were lesson plans, rules, and guides to help teachers incorporate acts of kindness into their classrooms. This was amazing since I always found it so hard to find ideas to one day do this. Now teachers around the nation are sharing their ideas to help make this an everyday known fact. There is also an option for teachers to make a website for their students. This way the teacher can track the student’s acts and then the students can feel accomplished for their acts of kindness.

I really think this website is something special. To find out more check out http://www.actsofkindness.org/?gclid=CJqaxqSNuo8CFQh6gwodMivLcQ.
