Walnut Creek 6th graders collaborated each quarter on a service-learning project. Students read the book, A Long Walk for Water, as well as conducting water testing labs. Students were shocked by the issues of water pollution and water scarcity on our planet. As a result, we chose to help a village and students in South Sudan. 6th graders brainstormed ways to bring awareness and generate funds to help. Ultimately, this project was a perfect fit because it encouraged students to problem solve, collaborate, and think globally.
