First Five Minutes #3

First Five Minutes Pattern

Monday	Mondays are for acts of kindness.  The first four minutes could be used to listen to stories about the acts of kindness performed the week before.  The last minute should be spent going over what this week’s act will be.
Tuesday	Tuesdays are for talking about the quote.  Have students discuss their interpretation of the quote, how it makes them feel, and how it relates to their lives.
Wednesday	Wednesdays are for talking about ethical questions or scenarios.
Thursday	Thursdays are for discussion to get many points of view on one topic.
Friday	Fridays are for target letters of kindness. Have students write a quick note of appreciation for that week’s target.

Week three

Monday	Sit down with someone who is much older than you and ask them about their life.  It may be a grandparent or you might even visit a senior citizen’s home.  Learn as much as you can about them.
Tuesday	“Spend time with someone that you consider to be old, and you will be amazed at what you can learn from them”. -Sandy Scott, Rachel’s Stepmom
Wednesday	When you go out to eat with friends, do you contribute just enough money to pay for what you ate or do you give a little more?
Thursday	What are obstacles?  What can we do to overcome them?
Friday	Grandparent #1
