Tremendous Tuesday!!
What a fun and educational day we had at
the Food Bank today!!!! We practiced the attitudes of empathy and appreciation
while learning about people who may not have enough money so they need to go to
the Food Bank to get the food that they need. Food is a need for us to survive and that is
why Food Banks play such an important role in every community. Ms. Jaskolka is
proud of all of us for continuing to be good citizens and finding so many
wonderful ways to help people in our community.
Action Star:
Julia has taken action through out our unit many times!!!!
Julia
has been having family votes about important issues. They have been
voting on what fun activities we want to do as a family, or she may ask us
questions about what people should be allowed to do, and then vote, "Yes
or No." She has also been playing "School Teacher" at home,
and asking, "What things do we need and don't need? What is important or
not important?" She teaches her family about the communities and how
we can help. Starting very soon, once a month, before school starts, Julia will be
volunteering at a Community Center preparing breakfast for children who
otherwise would not get breakfast before school. WOW!!! Amazing
action Julia!!!
Today we had the opportunity to take a
journey around the Good Shepherd Food Bank and experience the inner workings!!
Check it out:
We also found out that the people at the
Food Bank grow a garden outside!!!! So people who come to the Food Bank are
able to get fresh fruits and vegetables!!!
At the end of our trip, Mark, our tour
guide gave us each a book as a thank you for our donation and visiting the Food
Bank.
