Excitement washed over me as I found the perfect insulated mugs. Only one problem. There were only three. I hunted down a store employee and asked them if they had any more in the back because I could only find three but I needed eight. To my surprise, the employee asked, “Well, how many more do you need then?” At that moment, rather caught off guard, I realized how important math fluency is in everyday situations.

That means we need simple ways to get more kindness into the classroom. Incorporating kindness quotes into your classroom decor, lesson plans, and anchor charts is a great way to inspire and motivate your students to be kind human beings. In this post, we’re going to offer a few kindness quotes for the classroom that will help you address those needs with ease.
