Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that we will be holding a supply drive for the children of Afghanistan. Ask your child about it if they have not already given you the note. We've been talking about this in class and many of them are very enthusiastic to pitch in and help out.
We have talked about:
- How fortunate we are
- Not everyone is as fortunate as we are
- That although it is sad when we look at what little they have, there is a positive light to all of this: there ARE things happening out there that ARE good! Such as what we are doing.
In the coming weeks, we will be watching a video about the children of Afghanistan, discussing what it means to be global citizens, and reading books about diversity, peace and acceptable. We are also tying all of this in with the curriculum. The students will be weighing, measuring, counting, and sorting all the items we receive to get them ready for shipping.
It is very exciting to see how passionate they all are!
