The power of one, the importance of all
One–the book chosen by last year’s 5th grade class for their Legacy Award–shows both the power of one person to make a difference and the importance of everyone’s contribution. Led by Media Specialist Ms. Roberts, the class held bake sales last year to raise money to purchase a copy of the book for each classroom at Richards!
This book inspired the collaborative creation of a quilt. Under the guidance of Art Teachers Ms.Danforth and Mrs. Miller, each Richards student and staff member contributed a square.
In Room 123, students made connections from the book to their own lives and to other books we read during our folk tale unit.
Special thanks to those former-5th grade students, Ms. Roberts, Ms. Danforth, and Mrs. Miller!
