Project Linus

One of the most rewarding experiences I have had so far in the classrooms was completing the Project Linus Service Project with my students. As one of our assignments at GC&SU, we had to come up with a unit that based around a service project that had students giving back to the community. My students at Vineville Academy and I decided to make blankets for children at the local Ronald McDonald House through the Project Linus Organization. We made 3 blankets of our own to donate to children and asked other classes in the school to donate blankets as well. The students wrote letters to all of the classroom teachers in the school to encourage them to help us out with this awesome cause, and many of them took part We ended up donating over twenty-five blankets by the time we finished! We had a blast making the blankets, learned about the importance of helping others in the community, and even covered some standards along the way!
