As a culminating activity to our yearly social studies unit on Holidays Around the World, it was my wish to have a fun holiday hands-on, project based, confidence boosting interactive learning experience in which the kiddos would create gift items for parents, family and friends! They are having a wonderful time accomplishing this! On the final days before the holiday break we will have a special arts and crafts party thanks to your generosity!\r\nDuring our celebration the kiddos will be able to engage in creating holiday arts and crafts, cards, letters for family and friends and will each receive gift bags for them to enjoy over the holiday season. It is my hope that the students will feel the holiday spirit of giving while getting a much needed boost to their self-confidence as they create their own holiday crafts.

I feel it is never too early to teach students about giving back and taking action to support a cause that will make this world a better place.\r\n\r\nFood insecurity is a real issue in our community and by engaging in this project my students were able to provide many resources to those in need.

They 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 would be in need of a snack, school supplies and even mental health items.\r\nThe kiddos made it their mission to have compassion for those in need as they fought 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.\r\n\r\nThis experience taught my students how important it is to give to others in need.
