As you know, newspapers can be valuable educational tools. PACT is working hard through various sponsorship efforts to make copies of the Parents And Children Together Keiki Day edition available to every student in Hawaii - a great addition to the day’s crriculum!
Even better - have your students actually participate in the event by submitting their own work for inclusion. Teachers may introduce the idea through classroom discussion on this year’s theme, “Energy Super Heroes” and then let the creative juices flow!
