THIS WEEK
We’re thinking about the question: “How can we show gratitude to essential workers and helpers in our community?”
Your challenge this week is to create an “Expression of Gratitude” to honor a community helper and their important work.
Remember your work plan? That’s when you said:
I will add…
I will try…
I will adjust…
Let's Get Started!
Decide or discuss: What will you do next to turn your plan into action?
Check out this “Expression of Gratitude” by another student.
Ask yourself:
Did this student follow their plan?
What changes did they make from their plan to the final product?
Does this student’s final “Expression of Gratitude” show why this community helper is important to the community?
What do you like about how it turned out?
