Kindness Retreat (ICI)


Kindness is a small thing that can not be measured until it is given to you by someone else. It matters a lot in how you interact with each other and how you show kindness to others.

Last week we attended the Kindness Retreat. I thought that it was a wonderful day of throwing out kindness to others in our grade level. To follow up with the idea of using ICI (Interrupt, Compliment, Invite Away) if you see something happening that you don't think is appropriate.

Let's write a story. . . In your post write a story in which you help a classmate get away from the bully using ICI. Choose a setting: Perhaps you are out on the playground, in the lunchroom, or on the bus.

Remember, don't use any real names of students in our class or in 5th grade. Practicing these 3 steps to be a hero will help you do this in real life. Go for it!!!!!

  1. susie was on the bus when she came across Billy. Billy then took her lunch money. Larry was watching but he didn't think he could do anything but he did. Larry came up and took the money away from Billy. Susie thanked Larry and they became friends. Remember if you are anywhere and you see someone getting bullyed don't just watch. You can do something about it. TAKE A STAND!!! HELP!!!

Justin was whatching his brother doing this to Shabobby and he went over and did something. He said to his brother what are you trying to do mom always packs use a chocolate bar. Well today mom put one in there but it was the wrong kind it was your discusting kind. Justin wasn't afended because his kind of chocolate bar was sometimes bad so what he did is he traded the one that he had for his brothers. Then he invited Shabobby over to sit with him.

  3. One day a kid named Joey was getting on the bus. When a popular kid named Gordon tripped him when he was walking down the bus and then after he tripped him he farted right on top of his head and he said "why don't you just go sit with all those other losers in the back of the bus". Then a girl that was super popular said "why are you always so mean you sit in the back of the bus". All his friends agreed with her and said "your not a good friend". Everybody said "just go home you little loser". And then he was never mean again and not popular. Joey became popular.

  4. One day on the playset there was a boy named Max. He loved the playset. But then one day he fell off and broke his arm. He was crying for help, bout no one came. Then, a boy named Marty hopped the fence, saw how badly he was hurt, told his mom, and then his mom took him to the ER. A couple months later, Marty fell down and then Max helped him up. After that, they were best friends after that, and played on the playset for hours every day.

  7. I did this wrong so here's my second attempt.

    One day my friend was playing football with me at recess. A student named Alek was trying to grab the football out of my friend's hands. Alek was yelling, "Give it to me!" I interrupted and said to Alek, "Stop or I will get a Duty Aide." Then I complimented my friend, "You are good at football, but lets go somewhere else." Alek ended up giving the ball back to us.

  8. One day, on the swingset, a girl named Sasha was waiting for her turn. Just as she was getting on the swing, Lucy pushed Sasha off. Then Charlie came over and said, "Hey Sasha! We're throwing a frisbee around over in the field and you're really good at it so do you wanna come?". Sasha of course said yes and they played a great game of frisbee.

  9. One hot summer day, Kate was sitting on the bus alone wating for her friend, May. A bully named Joe walked up to her and said, "You are dumb." Her friend May walked up to Joe and said, "Hey, did you see the football game last night?" "No," Kate replied. "I like your shoes," said May quickly and nervously. "Hey, look there is a open seat at the back of the bus," said May. "Let's move," wispered Kate. Joe staring wonderously at May's courage finally learned his lesson.

  11. If i saw someone getting bullying i would do the (ICI). The first thing i would do is distracting bob. Next i would give him a complement. Then i would ask then i would walk away and just play at the playground. Thats how you handle that sistuation. The last thing I would do is make them apoligize.

  16. There once was a kid named bobby and he didn't like pancakes. All of his friends didn't know that until he had a sleepover and he didn't want pancakes in the morning. Every day from that morning a kid made fun of him...a week later, it got too far. Some older kid walked up to him and pushed him down and other kids started laughing. Then, one of his friends came up and said "Hey bobby, I like how you play kickball! You can kick it soooo far! Come and join us bobby! Were going to go play some kickball!!" After that, bobby ran as fast as he could to go play kickball with his friends.

  17. Casey was playing on the field one day when Ken came up to him. Ken pushed the ball out of Casey's hands and kicked it over the fence. Ken said, "You whimp you can't even throw a ball." While all this was going on Matt, a person just walking by, then changed paths and strolled up to Casey. Matt got between Casey and Ken, and told Casey, "Hey dude, you're really fast, I was wondering if you want to come play tag with us." So, Casey walked away with Matt and Ken was left confused about what just happened.

The next day Lilly came to school and people were asking her " Is it true yu like him?" and she kept saying no but people kept saying " Wow that's dumb." Lily during lunch instead of playing with her friends sat dowm by a tree and began crying. Then suddenly Dennie came over and said " Ah are you crying because Chris rejected you." She was about to leave when he came over and she was surrounded. She started screaming but they came out as squeaks when Merriwether came over with Kassey and said " Hey Lilly want to go play tag? I know your so-o-o good at tag! Come on!" and Lilly slowly slipped away while they were staring at Merriwether in awe. And for the rest of lunch Lilly had fun playing tag. Since then Merriwether moved and Kassey made new friends. Lilly now had the nerve to stand up for herself.

  20. It was a typical day for Bob until recess. Sammy, the school bully, and his gang came up to Bob and pushed him down. " Ow, why did you do that?" Bob asked.
    "You are so puny." replied Sammy.
    Cristy came up to Sammy and said" Hi Sammy, I like your shoes.
    "Uhhhhhh" was Sammy's answer. Bob realized he had a chance to make a move, now. He got up and ran to his friends on the other side of the playground. Cristy skipped off to play hopscotch while Sammy tried to figure out what happened.
    Later that day on the bus, Louis, another school bully, came up to Cristy and said" That's MY seat" Cristy's countenance said that she didn't know what to do. Even though she stood up to Sammy, Louis was twice the size of Sammy.
    Bob came up and told Louis," Cristy was there first and you never sit there, you sit in the back with your friends."
    "Oh yeah," said Louis and then he went to sit down. Bob took a seat next to Cristy and then they played basketball everyday with eachother.

  22. There once was a kid named Billy, he is in the fourth grade. He was always known as the kid in trouble. He was disrespectful to his teachers and most of all the other students. The only person that he was nice to and that he liked was the janitor. For some reason they always seemed to have a connection. He would even go out of his way to help him do what ever was needed around the school grounds. One day his attitude changed toward his teachers and the students. He came to school with a smile on his face and was happy to be at school, helping teachers, playing with other students and would do anything to help at school he was no longer the bully at school that he once was. He found that kindness to others was the best way to be. He ended up having a lot of good friends and teachers that loved him. Roy
