Last week in 5th grade reading...

Last week in 5th grade reading class, students read about other kids around the world who are really making a difference in helping their community. They were asked to reflect on ways they can make a difference in their own community as well. Students chose one problem that they saw and brainstormed ways in which they can help. The following posts are examples of student work.

Great Job 5th grade!

5th Grade Plan for Change by Alex

The problem is that [I saw in the community is that] there is a lot of graffiti in bathrooms and school equipment. That's why I want to stop graffiti in our community. I saw some graffiti on school electricity thing and on the bench at the top of the hill. I want to help get rid of graffiti.

First I would get cleaning supplies and start cleaning the graffiti off the equipment. Next I would get a spray that shows the fingerprints and see the fingerprints. Finally I would call the cops to find the people or person who did it and arrest them for writing graffiti. I think these steps will be successful.

5th Grade Plan for Change by Carly

As my family drives around the town we see people with barely any clothes on playing instruments on popular city blocks. Sometimes I see people living in empty boxes. They say they're out of food and need a job or they need a real home and I know a plan that might work to change that.

I have been trying my hardest to convince others to donate as much as they can to those who are poor. I sometimes help my mom to cook up some meals to give to charity so the charity can take care of the rest of the food to find those who are poor. At times when I flip on a news chanel, they have a speech about those who are homeless, hungery, and those who need a job. It sometimes made me a little emotional and it even makes me cry. I some how relized that I have been seeing less boxes on streets, so thats how I knew the plan (both mine and others) is working.

I think the whole world should help out and save other lives and families and do what is right. We should ask as many people as we can, so we could all put smiles to faces. We should fight the debt and save the poor. Whatever we don't want or need or clothes that don't fit us anymore, we should open up to the world where they can be used again. We can all change this feeling of sadness to the joy of laughter. We can make a difference and share dreams and wishes once more again.

In class this week we have been talking about how Dwaina Brooks made a difference in her community. My question for YOU is:


How have you volunteered to help your community? What do you think kids can do to solve some of the world’s most challenging problems? If you could make any difference in your community, what would you do?
