Kindness Is Cooler, Mrs. Ruler

Reading this book that tells the story of a teacher in an elementary school classroom leading projects centered around being kind and helpful was such a delight. My nearly 5 year old grandson was most curious about what was going on and asked many questions. We were able to use the story to talk about being helpful and kind. Later in the week we referred back to the story for continued exploration of the subject. It's a delightful and helpful story!

Nice teaching tool for kids to learn positive behaviors at home and at school. Mrs. Ruler encourages her students to show positive behaviors both in school and at home. Of course, one student stands back and refuses to participate but he too comes along after the class earns stars for their kind deeds.

Great Book for Read Aloud. Class was engaged and responded nicely to story. Perfect for SEL.

Bought this when I was an elementary librarian at a school with a high concentration of kids from troubled homes. Working on the basic traits of good character was a high priority, and this book did a good job of getting the kids excited about the right things. The class in the book tracks all their good deeds for a while, putting value on kindness. The kids at my school responded well to this book. A+

I bought this book for my 7 year old granddaughter. She immediately started to do different acts of kindness; at home, at school and for me. She even reads the book to all her dolls. This is an amazing book for kids of all ages. Mrs. Ruler has a great idea when it comes to teaching her students about being kind. In these times when many children are harassed by bullies, it is important to foster acts of kindness in children.

My class and I used it to write about the many ways we can show kindness! we are keeping a log and share it weekly! We are also making seasonal shapes to display throughout the year! we will place all of our acts of kindness so that others will take the hint!I would recommend this to grades K-3! It is also helps to stimulate some very good writing! it can be integrated into all subject areas!

In these times when many children are harrassed by bullies , it is important to foster acts of kindness in children. The children I read this book to were compelled by the story. I think the cartoon character illustrations helped to attract their attention, but many children were also interested in the idea of counting acts of kindness. One classroom I read to, persuaded their teacher to conduct the acts of kindness project in their classroom.

Such a wonder story!

Great mesage if very American!
