Welcome to Portals Projects! Each week we share projects that foster community building, creative thinking, problem-solving and character development. Invite your student(s) to pick a project that interests them to work on for a day or a week. Encourage them to share their plans, products or performances with the Portals community so we can all celebrate and grow together.
Week 25 -Kindness and Hospitality
1 Peter 4:8-9 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Map Kindness
Make or print a map that includes all the places you will go in the next week. Then as you go about your week identify an act of kindness and do an act of kindness of your own in each location. At the end of the week, pick one of the most loving acts of kindness and post it on the Citizen Science project - Map Kindness.
