On Monday, after hearing a story about a Hippo that was stranded on a sandbar by a tsunami, the children asked, “What’s a tsunami?” I wasn’t able to finish my sentence, “A tsunami is when there is a big earthquake in the bottom of the…” when the class became very excited, “There was a big earthquake in Haiti!” they exclaimed. Yesterday, Chiara brought in a letter and some coins from her piggy bank to send to Haiti. Today we reflected on the things children can do to help the people of Haiti and why they need help.
Anaiya said, “They don’t have clothes, we could make clothes.
Max said, “Their food got smashed.”
Ethan said, “I want them to feel better.”
David said, “A ginormous jet could get stuff to them.”
Wynant said, “We are a very rich country, and it’s very likely that they have earthquakes.” Haiti is a very poor country and their houses aren’t as strong as ours.”
Johnnie Lee said, “They need some food and drink to make them healthy.”
Aydin said, “The soldiers are there to help the people.
Max said, My dad could help make wood houses.”
Griffin said, “You could give away your baby toys.”
Isiah said, “We could drop boxes from a plane and the toys could come out.”
Izzie said, “We could sell some food because they don’t have it.”
We all decided to have a bake sale to raise money for Haiti.
