Today I took 24 7th graders on a field trip to Wal-Mart. Our school has mentoring groups and I have really tried to get mine involved in doing service for others because I think that will teach them more than anything I can say. We did a canned food drive earlier this year and we decided to adopt an angel for Christmas. I'm sure other towns do this, but it's where you buy gifts for children who may not otherwise receive anything. We talked another mentoring group into going in with us. The students brought in a total of around $150. We adopted three boys and one girl. I talked our principal into allowing us to go during school time to purchase the items for the children. Everyone in Wal-Mart looked at us like we were crazy, but the kids were excited about helping someone else. When we got back to school, one student said "That makes me feel good inside." It was a rewarding moment..jpg)

that is cool.
How sweet! I made my kids lay in the floor and listen to relaxing music before bed the other night and Logan said, "This music makes my heart happy." haha!

That was so cute! You are such a great teacher!
Yall are brave. Are your mentoring groups seperated by gender or you just so happen to have all boys?
There are separated by gender like everything in our school.
24 7th grade boys? Bless you...
