Compassion is Pink!

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” ~ Dalai Lama

This month at Cottage Lane we are focusing on compassion. At today’s assembly, we discussed the meaning of compassion and how we can show compassion in school, at home and in the world.  Our Compassion Cards encourage us to perform random acts of compassion.  From the Smile Train Fundraiser to Valentine’s for Veterans, our compassion can make a difference in the lives of others.

Our book of the month, Each Kindness by Jacqueline Woodson, gives a lesson about how even small acts of kindness can change the world. The main character realizes the lost opportunity for friendship and thinks about how much better it could have been if a little compassion was shown toward others.

Remember…Don’t be a wrinkle in someone else’s heart.  Instead…make time this month to complete your compassion cards.  Together we can fill our hallway heart!

    kindness
    each little thing
    goes out,
    like a ripple,
    into the world
    even small things count
    a smile
    makes the whole world
    better
    like each kindness

    whispering secrets
    whisper
    whisper
    laughing at her
    we said no
    new
    name for her
    we
    laughed
    seat
    empty
    small things count
    seat remained empty
    wouldn’t be coming back
    kindness
    never shown
    the water rippled
    away
    kindness-done and not done
    I watched the water ripple
    the chance of
    kindness
    became
    forever gone.
