    Thank you for making this project, "Creating Memories for Ourselves and Our Community" come to life and helping me spread a little holiday cheer. I can't begin to express the joy that you have brought to our classroom. The art supplies and snowman theme activities were a huge hit with my students. They were so excited to with the Grinch paintings and the cards they created for the elderly. They loved building snowmen and the snowball fight was a really exciting way to review spelling. Hopefully, this will bring back fond memories of first grade when they look back. These students have been working really hard and it is always a pleasure to reward hard work. I thank you and my students thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

My goal is to create a classroom where we celebrate differences. Students need to explore the presence of diversity in their own lives. I will use books, pictures, and materials to help students develop a deep understanding of diversity. Students will be exposed to different thoughts and perspectives. I want to increase their understanding of the world. By bringing awareness to issues others face because of their race, ethnicity, or gender, they will develop an appreciation for the struggles and contributions of others. This will further foster their mindset of acceptance.
