Projects > Santa Maria > Partnership with Coe Elementary > Sharing Values


Both Classes defined individually and as a class what made them happy and what is important to them. They shared their thoughts with their partner school. The crossed words are changes the class decided to make, after receiving their partner's report.

Analysis made by the students at Santa Maria

We found three commonalities, which are: family, love, and food.

Love: it helps us to live in a community,

Family: they support us and they give us love

Food: it helps us to live to be healthy and to survive.

____________________________________________________

We think those things are important for you because:

Family: because they give you love, support and they understand you.

Animals: because pets share with you a lot of time and accompany you.

Friends: because you can share with them all your experiences no matter if they are good or bad.

Vacations: because you can rest and share with your family.

Sports: because sports help you to be healthy and enjoy your life.

Technology: because you can discover new things that are not in the books.

Food: because it is the base for growing up healthy and because you can eat delicious food.

School: because you can learn new, different and important things among others and you can have lots of friends and meet new ones.

Arts : because you can become famous painters and because you will enjoy modeling different pieces of art.
