In keeping with the holiday spirit of giving, Lisa Davis’ third grade class at Northwood Elementary School learned about the importance of gifts from the heart.
Students brainstormed a list of gifts they could give and that only through their actions could be received by others. The list included, but wasn’t limited to the following gifts: love, gratitude, caring, support, courage, leadership, respect, encouragement, empathy, patience, bravery, inspiration, devotion and loyalty. Students then used their writing skills to express their feelings in the form of a letter and made “little presents” to send to U.S. soldiers stationed far away from their loved ones.
