Acts of Kindness

Recently, Dr. Simpson visited our class to discuss acts of kindness. We each have a person in mind who we have been focusing on to try to make their days brighter. Saturday is Valentine's Day! Please give your friends and me some ideas for showing kindness and love towards others at home! Write about at least one act of kindness you can do  at home for someone you love (parent, sister, brother, nanny, grandma etc).
