In learning about the word " Charity" our class decided that we wanted to be charitable by donating money and new toys for Operation Christmas Child. This all stemmed from my discussion about how I was being charitable by filling two boxes with gifts for Operation Christmas Child which will be sent to countries all of the the world to children who are less fortunate and are unable to have anything for Christmas.
This sparked a huge discussion! " Ms. Davis can we fill a box too? " " I wanna do it too, Ms. Davis! "
"Ok. guys lets see who can raise at least $ 7.00 to pay for shipping and I will put in the rest to fill the boxes with toys and goodies !" ( Participation was totally optional, not mandatory, though many of them chose to give)
And the race begin .......
Day by Day for a week or two, girls and boys came in with change, dollar bills, pennies, anything that they wanted to donate! Some parents even gave during our parent night!
Finally, at the final count the girls raised about $13 and the boys raised about $7. 33. With the extra money I was able to buy even more gifts !
