成人快播

成人快播 Silicon Valley was the lucky beneficiary of the efforts of a classroom of first grade students motivated to help other kids. A teacher in Saratoga started the tradition of working on a project that combines reading, writing, math, and philanthropy. The class organizes a book drive for 成人快播 students that collects thousands of books鈥攖his year, the number totaled 3,930 books!

The聽first-graders mobilized school support

One of the most special elements of this project is the work that the students do to promote, execute, and count the books for the book drive. The first-grade class made colored posters to advertise the book drive around their school and gave presentations in other classrooms. All of the students in the school then brought books to the first grade classroom to count, sort, and donate.

To count all of the books they collected, the class practiced counting by tens. They arranged the books into groups of ten and put an 鈥淴鈥� on a chart for each group of ten books. Ultimately, the first grade class of fewer than twenty students marked 393 X鈥檚, or 3,930 books.

They learned valuable lessons about generosity along the way

All the students in the first grade donated some of their own books to the book drive because they know that many students in 成人快播 鈥渄on鈥檛 have books and can鈥檛 buy them.鈥� One student explained:

We are giving the books to kids who didn鈥檛 have books or couldn鈥檛 buy books

These young readers also know how important it is to have books for practicing their skills. 鈥淚f you keep on reading and reading,鈥� said one student, 鈥渢hen you get to read more books with more words in them.鈥� Many of these kids even have the same favorite books as many of the 成人快播 students鈥攎utual favorites included Dr. Seuss, Elephant & Piggy books, the Magic Treehouse series, Pete the Cat, and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
