Wow! What a great and successful job my class and their families did on the project. We have somewhere around fifty items proudly made in America to send to the military family In California. The kids had a ball checking for the American flag and reading labels in stores (Shh, they don’t know I got them to look at hundreds of new words and practice reading on their own). Besides the families I would also like to thank two of Ida’s teacher assistants Mrs. Gunn and Mrs. Wobser for all their help. As well as Mr. Morelli and his students Mike Way and Job Muller for making the toolbox and donating the Craftsman screwdriver set. Karen St. Bernard of Old Country Treasures in Ida, MI donated the “Always Faithful” sign painted on a piece of barn siding from my family’s farm. I thought the translation from Semper Fi was fitting due to the fact it’s being sent to a U.S.M.C. family. All of the Russell Stover candy was personally donated by a store employee (Jessica Williams) who wanted to be part of the project. I hope the paper is able to let the public know how hard my class worked and how GREAT the Ida Public School’s family is.
I have attached some pictures and here is a list of some of the other items.
