A boy's kindness towards his classmates is popular online. Amanda Cox praised the boy on the Internet after she asked her students to share some of their pencils with their classmates.

"Today I was running out of pencils so I asked all of my kids to take out the pencils that they had in their desks," says Ms. Cox. "One student asked me if he could keep some pencils that his mom gave him for school."

"Of course, I said yes. He then said, 'Well, I guess I'll give you a few so my classmates can have them too.' I thought nothing of it and took the pencils that he handed me."

Ms. Cox quickly discovered that these weren't just common pencils, however-as she was sharpening the pencils, she noticed that they all had writing on the side.

The boy's mother had written personal, special messages of love and encouragement on every pencil, saying things like "You are perfect", "I am proud of you" and "This will be a great year".

"This probably took his mom a few minutes to do, but it lit up his whole day at school," says Ms. Cox. "he wasn't embarrassed that his mom wrote on his pencils. Thanks to his mom, he was reminded of his own worth and wanted to share the same feeling with his classmates."

Ms. Cox posted a photo of the pencils on Facebook where it was shared thousands of times by adults praising the boy and his mother for their encouragement. Some have even done something similar for their own students. Ms. Cox says she would remind more kids that they are important, talented, loved, and clever and so much more.

What should you do if there's an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede(踩踏) ? March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.

This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students (NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日) . The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.

A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries (伤害) .

What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice.

A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.

Earthquakes are common natural disasters (灾难) . When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don't stay near buildings, trees or power lines.

When there's a fire, follow the teacher's instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.
