Gifts of Nothing

Many of you have probably heard your kids talk about "gifts of nothing" at home. After winter break we decided to read the book The Gift of Nothing by Patrick McDonnell again.  We have had a great time thinking about and giving others "gifts of nothing" this week. Some of the things that we have been doing in class is pushing in chairs for others, letting other people go first and helping our friends clean up their area.  I hope that the excitement of giving "gifts of nothing" have been showing up at home too!  We look forward to giving and receiving even more "gifts of nothing" during the month of January.
