Walnut Creek 6th graders collaborated each quarter on a service learning project. Students read the book, A Long Walk for Water, as well as conducting water testing labs, students were shocked by the issues of water pollution and water scarcity on our planet and even in our own country. As a result, we chose to help a Navajo Nation in the United States. Students brainstormed ways to bring awareness and generate funds to help. Ultimately, this project was a perfect fit because it encouraged students to problem solve and think globally.
