CITZENSHIP-SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT
Theme: Caring
| Each month, the students at
Price Laboratory School focus on a
citizenship theme. For the month of December, CARING was our
theme. The students in fifth grade adopted a family from the
Cedar Valley for
the holiday season. Nonperishable items and gifts were
brought into the
classroom for our family. In addition, the students were allowed
to bring a small monetary donation. This money would be put
towards a shopping trip to the grocery store to purchase perishable
items for the family. The class was divided into groups that
represented the food groups. They brainstormed foods that fit
within that group and was perishable. They were given an alloted
amount of money to spend on our trip to the store. The results of
our project were heartwarming. We feel that they really
experienced the true meaning of caring for others. |
