Community at Consul School

Our K-5 classes have joined together in our community project for +Michelle Salt  We watched Michelle's video, challenging us to find something in our community to support.  Our local Community Hall had to purchase a new microphone and stand, so we decided to fundraiser to cover that cost. On December 8, we will have a homemade cookie sale - each family will contribute at least one dozen cookies that we will then sell in trays of 6 assorted cookies.  The kids are excited to begin this challenge.

This is a copy of the note we sent home to our families.

The K/1/2 classes are also focusing on kindness during this theme.  We watched a youtube video version of the story "The Kindness Quilt" by Nancy Elizabeth Wallace.  Kids and parents will keep track of acts of kindness completed by students for two weeks.  They will then choose 2-3 of these acts to write and illustrate on a square of our kindness quilt.  Here are pictures of the start of the quilt and the chart they will use to record their acts of kindness.  I sent it home yesterday and already kids are talking about things they did at home.

I'll keep you posted on our progress!
