2nd Grade
Community Partner: United States Military
The 2nd Grade students assemble “care packages” for our United States soldiers overseas. Students do chores at home to help cover the cost of the donated items. These items include tissues, jerky, cookies, salty snacks, gum, and candy. They also write personal letters and create good luck charms to those serving our country.
For 2016, we will be sending care packages to teammates of the husband of a local elementary school teacher currently serving our country in Afghanistan.
Curriculum Connections: This project relates to the curriculum in the areas of English Language Arts, Math, and Social Studies. Students will write personal letters and address envelopes and/or packages. Through Literature, they will explore points of view, make connections and determine story themes. In Math, they will inventory supplies and divide items into packages to be mailed. With regard to Social Studies, students will investigate people, places and cultures as well as citizenship and civic engagement.
