Well, it was a heartwarming day watching four of my students deliver 12 gallons of milk, 5 cakes, 24 pairs of socks, 8 pairs of underware, and a check for $100.00 to a food pantry. Our class has been recycling for our school this year, and our second Recycling for a Cause project involved donating these items. Yesterday, my class's "Purchasing Committee" bought the undergarments and socks and cakes. Today our "Delivery Committee" picked up the milk from the grocery store along the way to the food pantry.
This real-world CBL (Challenge Based Learning) project helped students to learn about helping the environment (the recycling part) and charity and kindness toward others (the donation to the homeless part).
As one boy said today, "I feel fuzzy inside," the moment we got in the car after delivering the items.
It was a good day!
