Frederick W. Hartnett Middle School, Blackstone, MA, honors the Season of Giving by giving all a reason to be thankful. In between the everyday studies that fill the minutes of our normal middle schoolers’ days, groups of students and staff have been making time to talk about ways to bring some added joy to others this upcoming holiday season.
Our 6th Grade Mathematics classes have been engaged in a study of decimals in which greater meaning has been brought to the standards through loose change collection bins in class. This loose change is being collected to purchase 38 holiday baskets for Thanksgiving that contain all of the traditional fixins’ complete with a whole turkey. The baskets and turkeys are being distributed to families in our school community.
Not only do these students feel the spirit of giving, but they have also learned many lessons in preparation for this culminating event. Budgeting skills have been tightly woven into this curricular study that emphasizes the practical application of math in the students’ day to day lives. From working within a budget, to calculating costs of items, to preparing and shopping for a family, the students are being equipped with a skill set that they will use long after they leave the classroom. In addition, it will hopefully provide students with a greater appreciation for what their parents/guardians do on a regular basis, especially during these tough economic times.
