Kindness Tree

At The Academy of Indian Lake Village we focus on developing not only academics, but the emotional sense of self as well. We grow this through an approach called Conscious Discipline. Conscious Discipline integrates social-emotional learning, and self-regulation to teach vital life skills. See link at the end of the blog for more info!

One way to build emotional learning is to teach kindness to others. Our 3 year old class, Preschool 3 created a kindness tree today! They each took a turn saying kind things to one another while the teacher documented. Each child got to post their statement on the tree. The children's pictures will be added along with the statements to foster a "kindness to all" mindset.

How beautiful! Check it out!
