Happy Monday! It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving break
is just around the corner. Because it is the season of giving, I thought…what
better way to celebrate than to read The Giving Tree by Shel
Silverstein? This is such a wonderful book that shows the importance of giving
to others even when we don’t have much to give. The kids LOVE reading this book
just as much as I do!
After I read the book, I had the classes brainstorm ways
they can give to others. I heard so many wonderful and giving examples. A few
examples I heard are: Donate old clothes to others, give food to those who need
it, help someone when they fall down, donate money to those who do not have
any, and many, many more. I am so impressed with our giving and caring kids!
I had the students fill out a worksheet explaining what they
can do to help others in our school. I have attached some of their examples.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! :)
