Thanksgiving Food Baskets

Our class has decided to engage in a service learning project for Thanksgiving! Our idea was inspired by last week's Reading Street story, Scarcity. Our guiding question was, "How can we work together to solve problems?" I showed a video that included students collecting canned goods for a food drive. We decided to create Thanksgiving Baskets for those in our REACH community who may benefit from them.

I sent flyers home on Thursday that included the below information:
