My Project

In second grade children are learning about emotions and feelings. We must make sure they aware of how their actions and attitudes affects others.

These cart will be used for students to treat others with kindness that will have snacks on them and books to read to others.

The containers will be used to help keep storage the items on the cart.

The hats and socks will be used to give to others who are in need of them during the winter months. Also, the clipboard will be used to keep track of everyone who have been helped.
