Kindness in a Jar.
Whitin, Phyllis
Young Children, v56 n5 p18-22 Sep 2001
Describes a strategy whereby kindergarten children recorded acts of kindness on slips of paper and put the slips into a "Kindness Jar." Found that children used slips of paper recording the acts as tokens of appreciation for their friends, to recognize instances of conflict resolution, to report on collaboration, and to emphasize teamwork.
