Simple Acts of Care and Kindness are good things to do. It is always a good thing to be kind. There are many ways to be kind. A couple ways to be kind are helping a realtive, or doing something special for a friend. At school we had a week to show that we could be kind, but I think people should always be kind. Not just for a week. When our school celebrated "SACK", we got stckers for each day we did something kind. We had 12 things we could do to earn a sticker. They were:

1. Smile at an elderly person.
2. Care for a friend who is hurt.
3. Encourage someone to do his or her best.
4. Share your popcorn at the movies.
5. Give a kind word to someone who is sad.
6. Help mom do the dishes.
7. Bake a batch of cookies for your class.
8. Open the door for someone.
9. Read a story to your younger sister or brother.
10. Hug your mother or father when you get home.
11. Write a thank you note when you receive a letter.
12. Send a special note to your grandparents (for no special occasion.)

You just don't have to be nice to just one certain person. You can and should be nice to all people, all the time. Some people don't like each other. I think all people should get along in all ways possible. People shouldn't fight over little things, especially best friends. You don't have to do something hard to be kind, all it takes is a simple act of kindness.
