have also utilized
members of the

Students are also
encouraged to take
leadership roles in the
community. We recently
learned about the
butterfly lifecycle.
During our class’s
research, we discovered
that Monarch Butterflies
are on the endangered
list due to a lack of
milkweed plants. With
the permission of the
church on our campus,
we were able to better
our community and help
the monarchs by planting
milkweed plants. This
lesson was a great way to
engage my students in
service work for the

I continue to engage
members of the local
community in order to
increase learning
opportunities for my
students. Most recently,
a member of the
community that trains
guide dogs was able to
come into the classroom
to share with my
students. The students
were able to see how a
guide animal helps
people that are impaired
or disabled. It was a
great opportunity for
them to see how animals
can be helpers.

I also continue to engage

my students in service
learning. We created
Christmas boxes with
gifts, toys,, and basic
supplies for children in
third world countries.
We have also focused on
