What is Important to You?




I really enjoyed doing the shoebox activity in class where we had to decide what we would grab that could fit in a shoebox, if we had to leave our homes right away. It was a great way to find out what was important and what everyone valued the most in their lives. I learned that even though we all chose different things to put in our shoeboxes, we all had something that reminded us of our families. This is a wonderful activity to use for social studies to get students to communicate and find connections with each other.
