In my 3rd grade class today, we did a short writing assignment about what gift we would give the world. The other group that was working in the room with the 3rd grade teacher was having fun coming up with silly gifts and not being very serious about it. My group, however, blew me away.
My five students came up with gifts like money for bills, food for hungry people, new clothes and shoes for everyone, pets to teach people how to love, and so much more. These are students whose families don't have a ton of money so they know how important the necessities are. It was amazing to hear these things come out of kids that are eight to nine years old.
With their words, it made me feel as if there is still some hope for our world.
