Today is our last learning task and Meet for the week as Friday is a Teacher Only Day.

Today's activity is to make a December Kindness Calendar! Make sure you make the acts small and manageable - it can be as simple as smile at someone to make them smile, do the dishes, make your siblings bed or make your parent/guardian breakfast in bed! Have fun with it - but remember the challenge is for you to actually do each act every day of December!
