Five pages after the cover. Pages 1 and 2 make an 8-page book with sentences such as I can share, I can help and I am kind. Page 3 has picture cards to cut out, page 4 is a glue-the-picture match for each sentence and page 5 gives 6 situations where children circle the kind choice. The answer key shows page 5.
Can I use the How to Be Kind: Adapted Reader at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Preschool to 2nd Grade reading, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Preschool to 2nd Grade kindness resources are there?
⌄
1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are kindness resources for?
⌄
These are written for Preschool to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 4-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these kindness resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
