On Tuesday, Saklan’s 1st – 8th grade students gathered with their family groups to discuss how to be loving, the March social emotional learning focus. Together the groups shared actions to show love or care for others.
The family group leaders shared that the 1st and 8th graders have been learning about homes and what it is like to not have a home or not know where your next meal is coming from. The 1st graders shared reasons why people might need help or experience hunger. The 1st and 8th graders explained that there are many reasons why people might need help, including: because they lost their job, due to a natural disaster, due to extra expenses (like a broken down car or unexpected medical expenses).
After sharing the book, Saturday at the Food Pantry, the Family Group leaders explained that the day’s family group activity was to make bagged lunches for those who are food insecure in our community. Each group then worked together to make 20 bagged lunches, each containing a can of Vienna sausages, fruit cup, fruit squeeze, oatmeal, granola bar, peanut butter, crackers and tuna.
After school on Tuesday, the bagged lunches were transported to 10,000 Lunches, a local organization that distributes food to those who are food insecure in our bay area community.
