Compassion

Cross the bridge
of compassion.
Reach out to your
fellow humans.
However we may differ
in this world,
it belongs to us all.

"We can do no great things, only small things with great love."
Mother Teresa

Compassion Cards
You can set up a special chair in your office or room called the care chair. This special chair is a place where children are invited to come and talk about the way children care about themselves and others. Aftre they share you can present them with a Care Card. You'll notice the card includes an acrostic with the words spelled out for, C=Compassion, A=Acceptance, R=Responsibility, and E=Empathy


The Compassion Bridge Card is used for students. Students write their name on the card after they demonstrate an act of compassion. The cards can be put on a bulletin board to represent all the children that live by the values chosen. The cards can be used in a classroom. Children write their names on the cards and place them in a basket for daily, weekly, or monthly drawings.
