SECOND GRADE - Meals at Home - the children make a monthly seasonal craft and a written work (i.e., poem, letter) for the recipients of the Meals at Home program. The purpose of this learning program is to teach the children about the "Meals at Home" service and to be mindful of people who are unable to prepare their own meals. Also, we hope to brighten up each recipient's tray monthly with a creative idea to let him or her know we care. The children travel the delivery route and will meet some of the recipients of their projects.
