Especially now because so many lost their jobs during the pandemic. For students whose families aren't low income it is important to remind them that others face this everyday and there are ways to help those people in our own community and school. While completing the activities below students in the class will also be holding a mini food drive to donate back to families in need at the school. The food drive will be called Cans of Kindness. en-us 2021-09-06 19:15:18 UTC 2021-09-06 20:09:40 UTC hello@padlet.com knbroem https://padlet.com/knbroem/wj22smwxsnq5czkv/wish/1719922587 Students will be broken up into small groups and given a book from the list below to read.
