Our school is currently collecting gifts for soldiers who will miss out on Christmas with their families. Classrooms have worked for the last couple of weeks to fill stockings with things like beef jerky, drink mixes, puzzle books, card games, etc. Some of the stockings are absolutely overflowing with students' generosity!! Next week, Early Act will collect the goods and Mrs. Otten will ship them to soldiers overseas in time for Christmas. Each class will also make a card to go with their stocking. Since Early Act is in charge of collecting the stockings, today students signed up to be Early Act Ambassadors for the classrooms in the building. These students will have two classrooms assigned to them. Throughout the year, they will be connected to that classroom whenever we have collections or need to get information out to students who aren't in Early Act. |
We also spent some time talking about up-coming projects, what happens when we make a Kiva loan, and singing the Kiva song. If you are interested, the lyrics to the Kiva song can be found here: Believer
