Entry for the 2013 Trick or Treat for UNICEF project.

1. Trick or Treat for UNICEF
Project
2013
Ms. Levi’s 3rd Grade Class
International Academy of
Smyrna
Smyrna, GA

2. Our class had been learning about the
life of Mary McLeod Bethune. She was
a Civil Rights activist that fought for
equality in education. She even started
her own school for African American
females…

3. As an international academy, we instill
in our students that the world is bigger
than them. We also encourage them
to be global thinkers.

4. When my students saw the promotional
video for Trick or Treat for UNICEF, they
were deeply moved. They wanted to make
a difference. They set the goal to raise
enough money to purchase a “school in a
box”. They wanted to start a school just like
Mary Bethune.

5. They made signs and buttons. They did
everything they could to raise
awareness and enough money to meet
their goal

6. They were so excited to count and sort the
money that they collected. It was also an
excellent way to practically use their math
skills

7. My students learned a lot by doing this
project….
•They learned that the world in bigger than Georgia and
that everyone is not as fortunate as they are.
•They learned what it takes to take action and make a
difference in this world.
•They learned how to plan and execute a project/idea.
•They learned the value of perseverance.
•They experienced the joy of a job well done!
