Thank you, Bradley, for carving out space in your classes and school for kindness! :) I was very inspired by your students and fellow teachers. Especially some of the students stories of giving/receiving kindness. Like how when one student was in 3rd grade, he was at a book fair and was 3 dollars short of buying a book that he really wanted. Someone spontaneously just gave him the extra cash so he could buy the book. And how he remembers it today, 7 or 8 years later. :) Also was inspired by how you experimented with starting all your classes with 10 minutes of silence and stillness. And the sign on your door that reads: "Enter in Silence. Remain so for 5 minutes."
