It was our goal to learn how to be compassionate to others who are less fortunate than them. My 5th grade kiddos loved having the opportunity to give back to people within our school community who are less fortunate by providing food, supplies, stress items, Valentines treats and snacks through a student-created center.\r\n\r\nThe students created an appealing in-class help center. They'd were in charge of storing, organizing and labeling items in the center and advertising items that were available to all students in the school community who were in need of a snack, school supplies and even mental health items (stress gadgets and items).\r\n\r\nThe kiddos made it their mission to have compassion for those in need as they fight food insecurities and/or are lacking the items they need to succeed in school by inviting them to our center. Creating this center helped our kiddos fulfill the needs of others. Thanks to your kindness and generosity, this project encouraged the students to think about others, exhibit compassion for those less fortunate and enable them to see through the eyes of all schoolmates.","fullyFundedDate":1770355509230,"projectUrl":"project/kindness-compassion-squad/10042296/","projectTitle":"Kindness & Compassion Squad!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Rodriguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2067497_orig.jpg?crop=384,384,x354,y401&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1559415589767","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/terirodriguez"},{"teacherId":2095754,"projectId":9699122,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, my third graders are learning about money in engaging, hands-on ways that truly excite them.
