This week, we heard back from the orthodontist and were informed we donated 34 pounds of candy! For this donation, we received 34 dollars to use in our classroom. The students solved a number string to figure out the money we earned and collaborated together to create a list of potential items we could buy. After a discussion on budgeting and wants vs. needs, the students decided our money would be best used to purchase soccer pinnies and orange cones for Togetherness time. The soccer pinnies will be used to separate teams, and the orange cones will be used to make boundaries. We have ordered the supplies and we should be ready to use them for Togetherness when we get back from break! Thank you for all of your donations, and thank you I Orthodontics for working with us!
All of the candy second-grade students donated! This candy will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House.
