Flowers & ComplimentsOver the past four weeks we passed around flowers with compliments to show generosity to our school village. We wanted our project to spread to a large audience and have a big impact on everyone. Throughout the project we had a lot of fun because friends helped us tie the cards to the flowers. We also had a lot of fun seeing all the peoples reactions. We gave out our flowers for VillageFest, a school wide festival. The Fest turned out well but we could have explained our project purpose instead of just passing out flowers without an explanation. In the end, everyone passed on the flowers and we received generous acts from our peers. |

The Story We Want to Tell
Our story we want to share is that we wanted to show that our school neighborhood can be a comfortable environment for everyone to be in. We think our school can be more friendlier than what it is now, therefore we handed out flowers to our school for them to spread across the school village. We gave them the option of keeping the flower or passing it on to their close friends. Thus making our school environment a friendlier and welcoming community for everyone.

Revised Story
This semester we did a project of generosity and what our thoughts about it were. We all had our own philosophy about it and were paired up with someone who had a similar philosophy. We said generosity is contagious and I could be passed around. We created an idea to show our philosophy around our school and community. We thought of the idea of passing out cards with compliments attached to flowers so people could pass them on to their classmates or friends. While we were working on our project we felt a lot of feelings about ourselves and others for example, in the beginning we felt shyness and nervousness to hand out flowers because we thought we were going to get negative feedback from others. We didn't only have negative emotions but we had positive feelings, After a while we felt encouraged to hand out more because people enjoyed the kind act we have done for them. We did have struggles making our final batch of cards but with the help of my classmates they let us use some of theirs and we let them have some of ours to pass around during the Village Fest. We thought the Village Fest was fun but we didn't think that people understood our intent. However, if we did this project again we will probably give people a better explanation of our goal and talk more about how you can spread the generosity.
