The Blue Jays are all excited to know that they could make a difference in another child’s life and help to better our school. They worked diligently as classroom teams to contribute to the school’s fund raising event.

 This Love poster derives from our Martin Luther King lesson, preceded by our “Kindness and Love” lessons for K and L week.

  During our Martin Luther King study, we began to share with the children the importance of living your life with love and peace in your hearts. During L week we talked about and read more stories on “Love”. During this time we made special drawings for our friends and wrote letters to classmates. Then during Valentine’s Day we focused on doing kind acts for the people we love.

 We explained that only one person would end up with each of their beautiful, cooperative art works, but we stressed that a lot of children, future VPC students, were going to be blessed by their teamwork.

    For this inspiring poster, the children painted all the images, and their own words here about What Love Means to Them are the HEART of this project.

Many thanks to the teachers of the Blue Jays who helped to make this happen!
