Teaser: This poster gives positive advice on how to give back to others.
Teaching Ideas: I could use this poster in my future classroom for others to get various understanding of giving and how important it is. In this example, for Thanksgiving, they did an acrostic using the word Turkey. It goes along with the holiday and shows the true meaning of being thankful for what you have and to care for others as they may not recieve a lot of things that you do.

Teaser: On this website, you can learn how to donate to this children's hospital and make a difference in someone's life.
Teaching Ideas: I would use this website to show to my students how they can give out to the community. Donating to a hospital benefits not only the patients but the hospital as a whole. Donations help to fund more research and to help those in sickness to improve on their health. It's a very courteous thing to do to help those in need.
