Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s),

Our class is beginning a unit on "Reflection" as a theme for our Language Arts, Philanthropy and Academic Service-Learning Unit.

Reflection is an important part of the Academic Service-Learning experience. Your child will learn to reflect on feelings and stories, current issues, and what they and others can do to make a difference.

I would like to invite you to become an active participant in this unit. I hope you will consider serving as a volunteer when service projects are identified by our class and as a resource person when we use the school/home connection in lessons.

On ________________________, your child will bring home a group of questions to interview you or a member of your family regarding a childhood experience or event that demonstrates a kindness given or received. Your child will be asking the person interviewed to share this experience and his or her feelings then and now. The story and your child's story will be put in an illustrated reflection storybook.

I'd like to thank you for your continued support of our school's programs. This project is just another example of what can be achieved when parents and teachers work together, giving of their time and talents.

Focused on children,

Teacher
