Welcome back to the weekly Slice of Life! This week, I was struck by my principal leaving a Nespresso pod on my desk after I shared how much I love my Nespresso coffee machine. For slicing inspiration today, I challenge you to think of an unexpected kindness, big or small. Recall a time when someone showed you unexpected kindness. What was the situation, and how did it impact you? Or perhaps a time when you showed someone else unexpected kindness—how did it feel?
Write what’s on your mind, share your links below, and give some comment love to your online colleagues.
The Slice of Life Story Challenge is less than 1 month away! Find information and the sign-up here. You can also learn more about the Classroom Slice of Life Challenge – now moved to March! by clicking here.
