Thank you to all of your winter clothes donations. As part of our Community Based Learning, our class took part in collecting and donating over 400 winter clothing items made available, for free to those in need for the annual "Karen Kitzmiller Coat Drive".
In an effort to celebrate and extend the learning, each child donated an item for our classroom celebration. We cleaned our room, our desks, made a centerpiece, arranged food platters, and set a beautiful table. Family members came and spent a quiet afternoon engaged in conversation with both kids and adults. We then went outside to enjoy the afternoon sun.
It was the perfect ending to a very busy week and a wonderful way to build community both in and out of the classroom.
Thank you...
