Builders Club Hayride
Maybe I’m more of a dork than most people, but I find it very inspiring when sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth graders set goals such as:
- when we see bullying, we should let a teacher know but also go talk to the kid who was bullied to help him or her feel less alone.
- when our parents come home and it’s clear they’ve had a rough day, we should ask them to tell us about it and really listen.
- we should let others know about our club and why community service is important
- not just go to school, but really love our school and our teachers and friends as if they are our family, because we spend so much time with them and we will all feel happier if we spread the love
The kids I teach (and the kids I’ve taught) have so much more heart than I did at their age, and I feel so grateful to take a small part in their lives.
