Steps

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Fill the Doodle with kind words

    Bucket-filling, compliment-circle style: kind words about classmates go on and around the Doodle.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    Add what you're thankful for

    Gratitude joins the compliments — a gratitude jar and shout-outs, living on the Doodle.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    Keep it going

    Compliments and gratitude accumulate; the Doodle wears the class's kindness.

Tips

  • K-1: dictate one kind word; draw what you're thankful for.
  • Grades 2-3: write a compliment in a speech bubble; write a gratitude sentence.
  • Grades 4-5: run an anonymous compliment exchange; keep a weekly gratitude wall.
