Introduction:
The character trait we are focused on this month is Caring.
What does this trait mean to you? How do you show others that you are a caring person?
As a school, we are going to create Valentine’s Day cards for Children’s National Hospital. These cards will be delivered to children and staff in the Washington, DC hospital on Valentine’s Day.
Please look through the attached sheet for examples.
Exit Ticket: How does this activity relate to our character trait of caring?
If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, this is the organization I used to deliver the cards:
Founder and President
Eliana's Light
Cell: 703-899-6129
Hospital staff have cleared the following messages for inclusion in the Valentine’s Day cards:
“You are loved”
“You are surrounded by love”
“I believe in you”
“You are strong and brave”
“I wish you the very best”
"You rock”
“ I am thinking of you and sending you love”
“You inspire me”
“You are awesome”
“I hope you have a great day today”
“Be brave”
“Always remember how awesome you are”
They welcome any way participating kids would like to sign their cards.
For example, they can be signed,
“First name, grade, school name” Emily, 6th grade, ____________Academy
