Mission Project
I started the year by announcing that I wanted our students to get more involved in service especially with the Hispanic community. The challenge to this idea has always been to do something other than raise money. I wanted to do things that tied into our curriculum.
I have been working with the 4th and 5th graders on verb conjugations and I think this idea would be great, but I need some help. The idea is that the students would create a verb conjugation chart and have pictures of themselves and their families actually doing it. For example, if your Sunday school class goes to a nursing home to sing to the people their the student would take a picture of themselves singing for Yo canto (I sing). They would take a picture of themselves with their parents singing for Nosotros cantamos (we sing). I have some ideas for verbs that would be great, but I need locations to partner up with. Some of the verbs I am thinking of are: to help, to sing, to cook, to clean, to wash, to paint, to buy. I would love to have some help with this idea. I think it could be a lot of fun and really show the kids how we can serve the community to give glory to God.
Let me know if you can help!
