Class 2B is studying the rights and responsibilities of citizens. A responsibility is something that people do to help the common good. Today our grade decorated flower pots and planted flowers to give to formerly homeless people to decorate their new homes.
We had a special visitor come in from JVC, Jewish Volunteer Connection. She told us that it is a very nice thing to help others and that our project is a good deed. She talked about how we can help people and all the places she's been to help others. She talked about what we've done to help others; Bunches of Lunches, delivering Mishloach Manot on Purim, and Thanksgiving Day of Service. She drew a body and asked us how we use our senses to see the reactions of people we help. The discussion we had as we created the picture made us realize that when we do good deeds, we help ourselves also.
