Click for the Teddy “Bare” Application
Sometimes, a simple thing can lead to deep learning.
We invite your students to create a purpose for one of the 3 huggable, plush teddy bears donated by Airport Ford!
All grade level students are invited to get creative, engage in research, read, interview, survey…. and then design a compassionate purpose for one of three adorable bears in such a way that they develop new knowledge, skills, and address a bare necessity in our region. Students and teachers can integrate the bear’s purpose into any subject area; but must connect to content while including student voice and a meaningful service/need.
Applications must be emailed or faxed to Children, Inc. Service Learning Initiative by
5PM on January 26, 2017.
