Here is Cramer's room 212 community project

My students' always look forward to Lainey's videos that she posts and the new topic that we are going to discuss for the month. To start the topic about community, we talked about the different types of community that kids/adults can belong too such as schools, neighborhood, the after school programs, the boys and girls club, etc. For school, we talked about how they are helping the community during lunch time because they do compost and recycling on their own to help the environment with waste. Also we talked about how they are a classroom community where they work together as a team to think and share ideas, complete projects/games, and work together to achieve goals. Then we talked about the neighborhood and how they can improve their neighborhood to make a change and the students came up with ideas such as planting a garden, cleaning up the park, or donate clothes to a shelter. For our community project the students designed bird houses to help feed birds in their neighborhood. We used reusable materials to create the bird houses so they understood the concept of reduce, reuse, and recycle. The students enjoyed decorating the bird houses with stickers to hang up in a tree. It was a successful project for the students to understand that a small difference  is a great way to help the neighborhood. It will brighten up the world little by little with this small gesture to nature. Overall, the students enjoyed the project and they are looking forward to meeting Lainey soon!
