With your partner, discuss what this atmosphere would be like.
Imagine going to school each day in an atmosphere of kindness, respect, and acceptance.
“Researchers from the University of California, San Diego and Harvard provided the first laboratory evidence that cooperative behavior is contagious and that it spreads from person to person to person. When people benefit from kindness they ‘pay it forward’ by helping others who were not originally involved, and this creates a cascade of cooperation that influences dozens more.”

1. On a separate sheet of paper, write down three ideas.
