Ronald McDonald House by: Carrie Alexander, Kayleigh Lemaster, and Kaleigh Sidwell


Grade Level: 2nd
Content: Ronald McDonald House
Service Needed: Ronald McDonald Houses around the world offer families a way to stay together, in proximity to the treatment hospital, and be comfortable and cared for during their stay. We need to raise money, by collecting tabs, in order for these people to be able to stay near their loved ones.
Service Idea: In order to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House the students will be collecting tabs over a one month period. The classrooms will all be given a jug to fill and once filled the class will get to have a popcorn pajama party.
Preparation: Learn about the Ronald McDonald house. Distribute parent letters to all the second grade classrooms and containers for the tabs. Mrs. Brown will come and speak to the class about her stay in the Ronald McDonald house and the benefit of bringing in tabs. The students will have one month goal to fill their container in order to get the party.
Reflection:
Demonstration: Students can write letters to the families who are staying in the Ronald McDonald house. Write an article trying to get more people to participate and what the benefits in bringing in tabs can be.
Curriculum Connections:English/ Language Arts: Letter and article writing Mathematics: estimating the tabs
