This lesson plan is a companion to the book and helps children to understand how just one act of kindness can change the world. The question she answers with this story is one that can haunt at any age: what if you’re cruel to someone and never get the chance to make it right? Ages 5–8. Jacqueline Woodson's Each Kindness is a touching story that evokes emotion and empathy from upper elementary students. Woodson, who collaborated with Lewis on The Other Side and Coming On Home Soon, again brings an unsparing lyricism to a difficult topic.
Then one day, Maya is gone, and Chloe realizes that her “chance of a kindness” is “more and more forever gone.” Combining realism with shimmering impressionistic washes of color, Lewis turns readers into witnesses as kindness hangs in the balance in theĬafeteria, the classroom, and on the sun-bleached playground asphalt readers see how the most mundane settings can become tense testing grounds for character. With growing income disparity, and bullying on the rise, this story of remorse and lost opportunity. Even when Maya valiantly-and heartbreakingly-tries to fit in and entice the girls to play with her, she is rejected. Each kindness makes the world a little better. Each Kindness For Valentine’s Day and Black History Month While in NYC about a year ago providing a workshop, Maryellen displayed a group of books to use with the Story Grammar Marker ®.
When a new and clearly impoverished girl named Maya shows up at school (“Her coat was open and the clothes beneath it looked old and ragged”), Chloe and her friends brush off any attempt to befriend her.
