Share the "Thank You" Wave!

There are a lot of angry people in this world, have you noticed?

 I'm not sure we can change all the anger in the world, but I truly believe that if we do our part, we can help people be kinder.

I suggest by starting with the Thank You wave.

Do you know that wave people give when a car stops to let pedestrians pass?

Or when a car lets a person into a line of traffic?

A Thank You wave is called for! 

It's a simple gesture, yet it makes people feel good!

So, why don't people do it more often?

Here's my challenge for you: find as many opportunities as you can to do that Thank-You wave! See if you can make someone smile, and hopefully, that will make you smile as well!

Now, I know what you're wondering: What does a blog for elementary teachers have to do with a Thank-You wave? Well, the only way we're going to teach children about kindness is through example! Be a good example of kindness!

By the way, when that car stops to let you cross the street, hustle! Besides doing the Thank-You wave, they're waiting for you; show kindness back to them by not making them wait!
