Some positive words - from the magic mushroom!

I have a magic mushroom!  Inside my magic mushroom are words of encouragement - 'You are loved', 'The world would not be the same without you' etc.  Last Friday I let my students choose a note and they were instructed to keep it folded until they arrived home later that night.

The idea was quick and simple and the kids loved 'choosing' their note from the magic mushroom!  I never thought the impact would be so wide!  Some students emailed me later that night thanking me for the kind words, others told me that they had given their note to a parent or sibling.  The biggest surprise was the number of parents that found out about the activity - obviously it was a dinner table discussion! I received many emails from parents and just this morning I was stopped by a parent as I came in to school - thanking me for the small but significant gesture.
