Barry Lane, a singer/songwriter from Vermont recently came to CES. He stated that creating a culture of kindness requires more than memorizing an acronym or collaboratively making a list of class rules for all to follow. If we want our children to truly understand kindness we must give them opportunities to emotionally connect, discuss and comprehend the abstract concept with their experience and the experience of characters in their favorite books. Students enjoyed singing songs with Mr. Lane and learning about kindness.
