Connecting with community partners and modeling collaboration is an important part of being an artist and teacher. So when Juedevine Youth Librarian, Diane Grenkow forwarded me a link about a project that Community Allies member Rhonda Barr was involved in called "Hardwick Rocks!", I brought the idea to 5th Grade Teacher Lisa Forbes and her students who wanted to be involved too.
Fifth Graders are creating their own "Kindness Rocks" and placing them around the school and community. Their goal is to spread kind words and bring joy to others through their art making. If you happen to see a "Kindness Rock" we hope the message will make you smile, have a good feeling inside, and think about how you can be kind to others too. Collaboration Rocks!
