💗 Pink Shirt Day: Choosing Kindness Every Day 💗

In our Grade 3 classroom, we are learning that kindness is not just a word — it is a powerful, positive choice we make daily, bravely, and intentionally. On Pink Shirt Day, we proudly stood together for kindness and against bullying. We promised to act gently, respectfully, and compassionately toward one another.

Students reflected on the question:

“What does kindness mean to me?”

They shared that kindness means helping others cheerfully, speaking politely, including everyone willingly, forgiving gracefully, and caring for others deeply. They described kindness as being a supportive friend, a welcoming classmate, and a responsible citizen in our classroom community.

Our bulletin board shines beautifully with a background painted in colours that represent kindness. Students carefully and creatively chose soft pinks for love, calm blues for peace, bright yellows for happiness, and gentle purples for empathy. Each colour was blended artistically to symbolize how kindness can spread through our school.

Learning Outcomes

Health & Life Skills (Wellness Choices / Relationship Skills):

-I can demonstrate respectful behaviour, build positive relationships, and develop strategies to respond to bullying in safe and caring ways.

English Language Arts (Oral & Written Expression):

-I can communicate ideas clearly by writing thoughtful reflections using descriptive vocabulary, including strong adjectives and vivid adverbs, to express personal understanding.

Fine Arts (Art):

We are incredibly proud of how our students expressed their ideas honestly and creatively. Together, we are building a classroom community that is kind, inclusive, and wonderfully strong — not just on Pink Shirt Day, but every single day. 💕
