Hey all,
It is auction time... in past years, children have loved contributing to the auction and participating in the fun and active support of their school. The auction committee is looking for class gifts that reflect the themes and interests of the class.
One idea I'm noodling with is a way that kids could commit service projects for the school, but then have those go out for bid. Is that too mercenary? I'm thinking, for example, if the 5th-6th put in an afterschool island clean-up, or the 7th-8th donated time to the daycare... Alternatively, their art is so amazing, maybe students could pick favorite pieces from the class and we could have a mini-art auction of student art? Favorite books that represent the class are always great too.. and things that extend from the curricula (like the 3-4 putting together a "made in Maine basket" while studying Maine).
Please, please, please use comments to generate and fine tune other ideas!
