We did our first Service Learning Project Today. We went to the Assisted living center and sang Christmas songs to the elderly residents. The children have spent the last month learning a few christmas songs for our program so we decided to go and do a small program as a service project. The children spent the past few school days making Christmas Cards, and creating a fabulous candy train centerpeice as our Christmas "gift". The residents were in seats waiting for us as we came in and they were overjoyed to spend a few minutes with such young and spirited kiddos. There were even a few "gramas" with tears in their eyes as we sang.
It was a really nice way to practice giving... and finding the joy in serving others.
