Spokanimal Supplies Drive
In this project, I had my students gather supplies for the Spokanimal animal shelter. The students gathered supplies over the month of February. Then I went and delivered the supplies to spokanimal.
Project Ideas
Letters to Soldiers
For my project, Letters to Soldiers, I had a group of 7th grade students create letters thanking the soldiers for their hard work and dedication. After viewing the partner organization website, Support Our Troops, I noticed that there were many items that soldiers requested. On my own, I went to the store and gathered a few items that were mentioned by the soldiers. After gathering the letters that the students wrote, a picture of all the students, and the various snacks, I sent the package off.
Pencil Project
This is a pencil drive for kids and families that simply cannot afford pencils or writing utensils. Education gets put on the “back burner” sort of speak for many people all over the world, providing food on the table can be hard enough and it comes down to it, they stop seeing schooling as a priority. This gives kids the opportunity that they didn’t see as possible before.
Painted Wood Art
The Painted Wood Project was inspired by the Kindness Rocks Project having the same idea in mind, to spread kindness through the community. It evolved into painting wood pieces for the children to give to someone who they appreciate and has impacted their life in a positive way. The idea for the Painted Wood Project was to show love and kindness to someone who has shown it to you.
Friendship Bracelets
For this project, I partnered with Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. I worked with students and explained to them how there are kids their age within the hospital that are still having to learn while being isolated and not around their friends. Because of this, we wanted these children to feel seen, heard, and know that we were thinking of them, so we provided bracelets that shared uplifting words of encouragement to provide to these children in the hospital with love and happiness!
No Bake Doggie Treats
For this project, students will be learning about animal shelters and their role in our local community. After that, students will get to make no bake doggie treats and donate them to SpokAnimal animal shelter. After they finish making their treats they will get to go on SpokAnimal’s website and choose the dog they would like to donate their treats to.
