First Graders Remind Us That Anyone Can Change Their World

The first grade students in my school are writing. They wrote a persuasive essay, which was passed from hand to hand, until it reached local government. They asked for a playground for the big recess yard in our school. They gave reasons and suggestions, and they learned that even the littlest people can make a big difference with their words. The school was given a 3.1 million dollar grant for the playground of its students’ dreams. Just a quick reminder that we ALL can make a difference.

Words are powerful. Use them wisely and with care. #amwriting
