Hey Everybody.
Here's my blog for the 25 days challenge. I haven't done my good deed yet today - I have yet to think up of something to do!! Hmm.. http://howtochangetheworldintwentyfivedays.blogspot.com/
Hi Laura. I'm one of Jenny Lucas students. I am thinking of joining in! I am considering using a blog to record my progress - do you mind me doing so??
I'll put several links into the blog.
A group for people of all ages who are interested in making a difference by doing little things for others at least once a day for 25 days (or more if you'd like)!

- Hi Linda,
Great to see more students joining the ning. I'm also sure you will enjoy getting to know Laura and other students here. There are some great examples of kids, teachers and others making a difference. My students recently raised money and collected toys for the Salvation Army. They're very young, but felt empowered and want to do more for others.

- Hi Linda, welcome aboard! It's great to have one of Jenny's students join us. I don't want to speak for Laura, but I'm sure that she would be thrilled to have you join her group and blog about your progress. I know that I would certainly look forward to reading about your updates. Thanks for joining!

It's so inspiring to read this Nina. I know how hard you work at your craft and you can see the effect you have had with this wonderful effort from your student. It is amazing how much kids take in when we don't 'dumb down' the curriculum. They are…
I was wondering if that was the word being used there! That's such a tough word for kids of that age--what a great example of how our use of language helps them adopt it earlier than they might. I just had this conversation with a teacher last week.…
I have a whole class of wonderful young writers. One comment this child wrote was about being balanced. As a PYP candidate school balanced is one of our values. This child understood this concept. Balancing life & being a balanced person. Our learne…
Wow! I think I need to take some time to absorb how selfless this young child is. This is truly one of the most spectacular and inspirational pieces of writing that I have ever seen from a young student, especially a 6 year old! Thanks for sharing t…
Carolyn, this is an incredible story that I will be sharing with my students tomorrow! A food drive is a concept that students of all ages can understand and connect to, so it's a wonderful idea as an in-school service project. Congratulations to yo…
Congratulations on a job well done! I'd love to hear from other schools who did drives like this....wouldn't it be something to keep track of the collective "good" that was done through food drives inside of schools this year? It's always wonderful…
"I would like Santa to look after the people..." Wow. That pulls my heartstrings! Such an engaging assignment for them Nina, and it's also a beautiful way to assess their developing writing skills too.
Can First Graders work to make a difference? I've seen it! In our school (50% free/reduced lunch population), my 20 first graders overwhelmed the Deck the Halls for the Hungry project at our school.
How did this happen? Just a few sentences a day a…
This child wrote quietly for 40 minutes. It hasn't been edited yet and will be by the child. I was blown away by the content. I sure this child will grow up to make a difference! Cheers Nina
