"Tia wants to take all this happiness in her heart and toss it out like confetti!"
When Tia sets out to spread kindness in the labyrinth, she discovers an unusual sadness coming from her friend Dwight. Through courage and compassion, Tia unravels a tangle of hurt feelings. Can she use the power of listening and understanding to transform tears into laughter and loneliness into belonging? Watch Tia mend hearts and seed joy through the simple act of caring.
In this lesson, students explore the idea that kindness creates a ripple effect-spreading from one person to another through small, thoughtful actions. Through story discussion, movement activities, and group reflection, students learn how empathy, compassion, and encouragement can meaningfully impact others and strengthen their classroom community. The lesson encouraged students to reflect on how their words and actions affect others and to take responsibility for spreading kindness in everyday situations at school and home.
