RACK Book

My class did 15 Random Acts of Christmas Kindness this December.  This year I took pictures of each one and created a book.  Most anything can be made into a classroom book, and this one is pretty special.  I'm hoping it's a reminder of how we changed the world for 15 days.  Maybe it will inspire them to continue their world-changing ways.  (Go here to read about our RACKing.)

  3. I loved reading all your posts about RACKING. We did not call it as so ~ but my little first graders became secret elves in December. Each child brought from home a plate of 24 cookies. We delivered each plate to a different classroom, office, lunch ladies, etc. Some had a bit of a hard time giving and not receiving at first, but they learned lots and really enjoyed it.
