Your task is to find something you can do for someone else to pass on a little kindness. I am not putting any parameters on what you can or can’t do, except that you cannot do something that benefits yourself, like clean your room. I mean come on, some of your mom’s would probably faint if you cleaned your room, but it’s your room; that does not count. So pay it forward for a friend, a family member, a teacher, etc. Write an encouraging note, make cookies for a neighbor, do something nice you don’t normally do. Have fun!!

Comments: Write a comment that includes what you did, the first name of who you did it for, what that person’s reaction was, and how this act of kindness affected you. Write 4-6 sentences and use correct spelling (no text  talk).

Reply: Reply to three other people. Read their comments and make a reply that gives them feedback. You can ask them a question, you can tell them how much you liked their idea (be specific), but you must write at least 3 sentences and you must use correct spelling (again no text talk.)

This is due by Monday 9/23.

“The attacks of September 11th were intended to break our spirit. Instead we have emerged stronger and more unified. We feel renewed devotion to the principles of political, economic, and religious freedom, the rule of law and respect for human life. We are more determined than ever to live our lives in freedom." 
- Rudolph Giuliani, former mayor of New York City

"Our enemies have made the mistake that America’s enemies always make. They saw liberty and thought they saw weakness. And now, they see defeat."
- George W. Bush, former President of the United States

    Rules

    1. First name ONLY-not your last name. 
    2. All posts must be appropriate and related to the topic posted.
    3. No text talk!
