Dear Parents and Teachers,

Dear Parents and Teachers

“Kindness begins with me” is a motto we can help children adopt. Read about how wonderful it is to be kind—to our family members (pages 4 and 8), neighbors (page 14), classmates (pages 18 and 32), and even to ourselves (page 46). You could make a kindness wall in your home this month (page 6) and talk about how Jesus set the greatest example of kindness (page 40).

Thanks for your kindness!
