Service Project

I haven't blogged in quite a while and I'm incredibly sorry for that! I've been CRAZY busy with school and getting caught up with everything after Christmas break!

Over break, I got inspired by the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy. It was incredibly heartbreaking and it has really taken over the way I think about life, my family and the way that I teach. I was inspired by Ann Curry's 26 Acts of Kindness campaign that you can check out here at her twitter page. This movement has taken the nation over and I've decided to bring it into my classroom.

I've been in contact with an organization called, Soldier's Angels. This organization is based out of Nevada and was started by a mother of two soldiers. They provide service men and women the opportunity to have a civilian "adopt" them. The adoption requires that you send one letter a week, and one care package a month throughout the deployment of the soldier. A small task to do for those who are protecting our world as we know it. So I came up with a project for my students to write letters and create care packages to send to the men and women overseas. Take a look at the website and see if you might be able to help this organization. These men and women are protecting us and deserve to be treated as so. Take a look at our #26 acts that we are completing in our classroom!
