About this listen

 It was getting close to the end of the school year for Mrs. Thomas and her Grade 6 class. Everyone was very excited! Summer vacation was getting closer with each passing moment. Two whole months of freedom , here we come!

At the same time, underneath all the enthusiasm, the teacher sensed worry. These kids were growing up quickly. They were aware of the wide variety of problems in the world, from climate change to brutal wars. From crime and homelessness to poverty and hunger. There seems to be no end in sight. “How long will it be until my family needs to line up at the Food Bank?

”Mrs. Thomas decided to veer off her lesson plan. Instead, she started discussing some of these troubling topics. But rather than focus on problems, she led her students to think about solutions. “What can we all do in our own way to better the world we live in? To protect our country, our community, and our families?” She asked them to become influencers for good. Then she suggested that they write about their findings and experiences to share with the class as their first assignment in the Fall.

Fast forward to September. The kids rose to the challenge.
