My Project

First and foremost, this project is geared towards my 5th grade students. This year our 5th graders are apart of a service learning pilot program where they get a head start and can begin earning service learning hours starting in 5th grade, rather than waiting for middle school. With this opportunity I have created numerous events and initiatives for 5th graders to participate in and earn those required hours. Two of those upcoming opportunities include Earth day clean up for the months of April and May. As well as May flowers, and rock kindness. We will be in need of supplies to help bring these opportunities to light. Students will benefit not just through gaining the required service learning hours, but with building character and responsibility as citizen in the community.
