Today I helped my mom cook dinner. I helped out by getting the pasta sauce and stirring the pasta. I choose this act of kindness, because my mom was really tired and needed help with dinner. Also I really wanted to help her out, because she is consistently doing things for me. I think that my act of kindness made her feel very grateful, because she was really tired, and appreciated for all the hard work she does. It made me feel more appreciative for all the hard work she does, because helping with dinner took a lot of time. All in all I was really happy to help my mom cook dinner.

Today I helped my brother out by filling in for him in kindergarten lunch monitoring, because he had a rehearsal. I choose that act of kindness, because my brother really needed someone to fill in for him, and I also love monitoring the kindergartners, because there so cute and adorable. It made me feel happy to play with the kindergartners,  because I really missed them, and it also made me feel helpful, because I was doing a  favor for my brother. I think it made my brother feel relived that he had someone to fill in for him while he had a rehearsal, because not many people want to do kindergarten lunch monitoring, because it’s hard work. All in all I had a lot of fun playing with the kindergartners.

Last Night I helped my dad out with the groceries, by helping him bring them inside. I chose this act of kindness because there was a lot of groceries and it was clear my dad needed help. It made me feel helpful, because he really needed my help, and he always does things to help me, so for once I was doing something to help him. I think it made my dad feel grateful, because he didn’t have to take as many groceries inside now that he had my help. All in all my act of kindness made both me and my dad feel good.

Today in school I helped Joanna out, by helping her make rings for her ring toss game. I choose this act of kindness, because Joanna couldn’t find her partner and needed help. Also she’s a great friend and I know she’ll always do the same thing for me. It made me feel happy to help Joanna out, because she’s a great friend and always there for me. I think it made Joanna feel grateful, because even though she was saying I shouldn’t help her, I can tell she was thankful. Anyway I had a lot of fun helping Joanna out.

“Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress” is a wonderful book written by Christine Baldacchino and illustrated by Isabelle Mallenfant.  The book is about a boy named Morris Micklewhite, who has a Tangerine dress, and faces the bullying at school wearing the dress. He loves his dress, and despite everyone bullying him about the dress he wears it at school. When he wears the tangerine dress, no one lets him sit with them at school, and no one lets him go on their space ships, and everyone says boys can’t wear dresses. So he pretends to be sick and skips school. But one night he dreams a wonderful dream, and paints about it. The next day he takes the painting to school and makes his own ship. Soon everyone wants to go on the ship with him, they love his adventures, and say the best astronaut knows where all the adventures are. And he finally stands up for himself. I think the theme of this book is to stand up to bullying. And the message of this book is to stand up for your self, and wear what you like, despite what others will think. My own thoughts on this book is that it really illustrates the message and theme of the book, and that all kids should read it.

Today I went to a doctors appointment, but first my dad had to take my grandmother to her doctor appointment. I helped my grandma out of the car, and walked her to her appointment. I choose this act of kindness, because I always help my grandparents around, knowing it’s harder for them to walk than me. It made me feel happy to help my grandmother out, because she is always so kind to me. I think I made her feel grateful when I helped her. All in all that was my first act of kindness!

“Two” is a wonderful squeal to the book “One,” written and illustrated by Kathrine Otoshi. The book is about 1 and 2 who are best friends and always play together, they even have a chant. Then 3 comes along and asks one if he wants to play, he says that 2 always plays with one and 3 should play with one too. 2  asks if he can play too, but 3 says it’s just odd numbers. Soon 1 and 3 are always playing together and even have their own chant, this makes 2 very blue. All the even numbers try to comfort 2, but it doesn’t work. Soon the even numbers band together, and so do the odd, and everyone is fighting.  2 convinces them to stop fighting and all the numbers dance and play together.

I think the theme of this story is friendship. And the message of this story is that we can all be friends, and we don’t have to exclude others.
