Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Embark on a heartwarming journey of compassion with our first-grade civics project! At this pivotal time of the school year, we're inviting you to join hands with us in nurturing empathy and kindness in our young learners. Through crafting gift bags filled with essentials and tokens of joy like card games, sunglasses, and friendship bracelets, our students will not only hone their creative skills but also cultivate a deep sense of compassion for those less fortunate.

Compassion is understanding and caring about others' suffering and taking action to help them.

To learn about compassion, we will read “Kindness is Your Superpower,” then talk about ways to be kind. We will highlight for our students that not everybody is as lucky as we are. This will directly lead into our compassion gift bag project. By contributing gift bags, card games, sunglasses, and friendship bracelets, our students will learn firsthand how to help those who are less fortunate. In doing so, we can instill in our children the values of empathy, generosity, and community, setting them on a path to becoming compassionate leaders of tomorrow. After we have made the gift baskets, our students will write about the experience and how they learned about compassion. We will encourage them to write about how helping those less fortunate made them feel.

Let's come together to make a difference—one gift bag at a time.
