Gratitude and World Kindness Day

The focus this month on Gratitude is in direct alignment with World Kindness Day which is on Friday, November 13, 2020. World Kindness Day is “an international holiday that was formed in 1998, to promote kindness throughout the world and is observed annually on November 13 as part of the World Kindness Movement. It is observed in many countries including the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and the U.A.E. World Kindness Day presents us with the opportunity to reflect upon one of the most important and unifying human principles. On a day devoted to the positive potential of both large and small acts of kindness, try to promote and diffuse this crucial quality that brings people of every kind together.” https://nationaltoday.com/world-kindness-day/

Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation in response to kindness. Taking time to slow down and be present can enhance feelings of gratitude and allow reflection in response to all of the people, experiences and places we are grateful for. Following are more ways to include kindness into your life. Take some time each day to engage in discussions with your family about what you are grateful for and ways to express kindness. – T. Kelly

If ever there is a time to see growth in our students, it’s during United Nations Day. Our 8th grade students facilitated discussions on global topics such as poverty, addiction and refugee rights. When they were in 6th grade experiencing their first UN Day, there is a good chance they did more observing than contributing. Fast forward two years, and our 8th graders now run the show!

As is the tradition at FSMH, UN Day is the culmination of weeks of work. All Middle School students represent a country (the same country they presented on during World’s Fair), and they contribute to student-led discussions from the perspective of the nation they represent. It’s an exercise in public speaking, empathy, global learning and scholarship. FSMH UN Day took place last week, and it was exciting to see our 8th grade students lead with such confidence and poise! A huge shout out to T. Brad for preparing our students well for UN Day and for organizing the day’s events. Thank you to the Middle School parents who made their way to school to sit in and observe. We are also grateful to all of our Middle School teachers for supporting the discussions, being curious about what our students think, and understanding that intellectual growth happens through intellectual stretching!

Recently, our 2nd grade class hosted their annual Ancient Egyptian Museum in the Harkins Commons. Students from other grades were able to visit the displays throughout the day as were 2nd grade families who were amazed by what they experienced. The museum exhibits included: write your name in hieroglyphics, geography of Egypt, ancient Egyptian dictionaries, scenic dioramas of Egyptian gifts, flip books of gods and goddesses, and so much more!

What impressive works created by our now knowledgeable Egyptologists and what a fitting ending to all of their studies of Ancient Egypt.
