Kids Making a Difference at TARGET

TARGET students are really making a difference in the world around them this year! Some third grade students have chosen to attend my exploratory class, "Kids Making a Difference," in which they have identified many problems in the world around them and are focusing on a few to creatively help solve through creation of projects this fall. My Monday exploratory students have chosen pollution as their "big" problem that they are working on together to do a whole class project, and Wednesday students have chosen the health of kids in Alabama as the focus of their big class project. Small groups are tackling projects on the following topics: kids with special needs, hungry/homeless people, veterans (recognition), publicity for the TARGET program, and history of downtown Northport (with some help from the historical society), writing books, and more! Stay tuned to find out how kids are working to make a difference by checking our website for updates each week!
