How can we make any sense of this tragedy? What can we say to our children at school on Monday? Let's use this opportunity to instill how important it is to be kind to one another. Let's come together in love and support. You can make this project with your own family, your class, or your whole school. The more hearts you have, the bigger the circle becomes. On each heart, students write kind words to another student. The hearts link to form a circle of kindness and love.
* Some users had trouble opening the PDF. I have created a zip file with this as an adobe file and a PowerPoint. YOu can print the powerpoint slide if the PDF won't open for you. I have alse been told that the link at the bottom right corner works better than the one at the top. If you have trouble with your download, try that. You can also right click the link, choose "save target as" and save to your computer. This worked for me. The link on the top would not open for me either! Please let me know if you have trouble. I have been emailing this to some teachers who could not open it.

I love this project. Whether or not you can talk to your class about the actual event, it is so important to take time to get them to think about how to be kind to each other. Thank you!

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. I teach first. I did not bring the shooting up in my class. They are too young to understand - I think I am too young to understand it. We did make the project and take the time to be kind to each other. I think that is an important message that we can share. Thank you for participating in the project. :)

I am a speech/language specialist and I did this activity with my entire caseload. The children really enjoyed doing this and are excited to see the huge wreath when they return from break. Thank you for doing this. It helped spark some very interesting conversations. I'm planning on taking a picture and sending it to Sandy Hook as suggested - our wreath will have more than 60 hearts!!!

That is terrific! Thank you for sharing this with so many kids.

My 2nd and 3rd graders and I wrote kind thoughts on hearts for one another and created a wreath of friendship. It was a perfect way for us to come back to school on Monday, and truly helped us feel the love that centers all that we do at school. I think it helped me most of all. I shared it with my staff, and many used it as well. Thank you, Primary Techie.
December 18, 2012
The Primary Techie (TpT Seller)
I am so glad that you used this project and shared it with others. We are all thinking of Sandy Hook school. This is such a tragedy. I am glad that this helped you and your students.

Thank you very much for this project to help my students (and me) experience a positive side to this tragedy. I teach high school and my students forget - sometimes - to be nice and/or thoughtful to each other as they grow up. I love the idea of the broken heart and the mended one.

Thank you so much for sharing this project with your students. This is a good lesson for all of us, big and small!

Amber Thomas (TpT Seller)
Thank you for this idea. It was a perfect closure activity after I talked with the kids during Morning Meeting. It helped them stay more focused on the families than the violence, and they were able to move on to academics a lot easier than I thought they would (more easily than I did!)
December 17, 2012
The Primary Techie (TpT Seller)
I am so glad to hear that. Thank you for taking part in this project.

Love this idea...thank you for sharing. I am a speech therapist and often my students are the focus of those unkind words, so this activity is greatly appreciated. What an important message and one too often forgotten..."treat others as you wish to be treated."

I think this is a wonderful idea. I was going to have the class make cards but this is great and I will attach one card with it. I had no problem downloading when using the download now at the bottom of the screen. The one on the top would not work.
December 16, 2012
The Primary Techie (TpT Seller)
Thank you so much for the tip about the links. That will help a lot of people. I like the idea of sending a card with your project.

What a wonderful, thoughtful way to help us do something we otherwise would not have done in response to this terrible, inhumane act. We, as teachers, are all hurting for those teachers, parents, and children that have gone through this tragedy. Thank you!

What a wonderful idea! Could be used at Valentine's Day as well.

Yes. I do something similar at Valentine's day. That is where I stemmed the idea from.

Thanks for helping us all with a way to help our students reach out to Sandy Hook. This tragedy reminds me so much of the dear little lives lost in the Oklahoma City Bombing. Our students want and need to have a way to reach out to others who are sad.

I hope this helps them. There is never enough we can do in a time like this. It is so sad.

Thank you for creating something to show our support all those affected by the events of Friday. Would it be OK if I shared this activity with my school? I will be sure to attached a link and encourage to check out your other resources. Thank you for your consideration!

Of course you can share it! I did not make this activity to promote my store in any ways. You absolutely DO NOT need to link it back to me in any way. Share it with anyone and everyone!

This has been downloaded MANY times in the past few hours. It may be too much on the system???? I am not sure. I created a zip file which contains the PDF and a powerpoint. You can print the slide that contains the image. I know that seems weird, but it is easier for me to create files in powerpoint. Please let me know if this still doesn't work for you. I can also try emailing you the file if you send me your address.
