Several weeks ago the third grade students learned in their PYP unit about global citizenship. Many inquired what it means to show responsibility for the world around us and the other citizens sharing our world. As part of their action, the third graders collected money for Unicef while trick-or-treating. You may have seen some of these compassionate children with their orange boxes collecting coins along with their candy.
The students learned that through Unicef the donations they collected would be used to give families clean drinking water, provide mosquito nets to protect children from malaria, buy "therapeutic food" for malnourished children, and could even buy a "school-in-a-box" which will help forty refugee children learn and heal.
Congratulations to the third graders! Together, they collected $485.68 for Unicef. By collecting money and donating it to Unicef the students from West TV not only showed empathy and kindness for other children around the world. They also took part in a significant action cycle which includes reflection and the conscious choice to respond to their learning.
