I will give you 10 extra credit quiz points if you can find at least 1 source that takes the opposite position! Good luck and have fun!!!

Right now, kindness may be more important than ever. Please pay attention and take time to reflect during the break to recognize and appreciate simple acts of kindness that we encounter daily.

List at least one of each, but feel free to list them all and let's see which homeroom is the kindest!!! We will use the lists as a jumping off point for our health discussion in January. Have a wonderful break and please stay safe!!!
