SECOND GRADERS SING AT THE NURSING HOME

Our class and Miss Wright's class went to the nursing home to sing for the residents. We made starburst ornaments to give each person. The kids didn't say much before we went but we practiced looking people in the eye and saying "Merry Christmas".

Lisa and I did not realize how important it had become to the children to be able to connect with at least one person. By the time we got to the third room there were children expressing disappointment that they had not been able to give an ornament yet.

At one point I looked up and Billy had made his way through a maze of wheelchairs and was handing out ornaments. Most of the kids were too scared to go to the back to hand out ornaments. It is true we are all gifted differently. Billy obviously has the interpersonal gifts!!
