 Compassion Projects
Human beings need to feel that they are essential to the
well-being of the world. This is a basic human need for
mental and emotional health. Children, from an early
age, enjoy knowing that they have “helped” others in
some fashion. We believe in a world where
compassion and giving back are at the very heart;
therefore, “compassion projects” are interwoven
throughout our students’ lives while attending KPA.

WEEKS IN REVIEW:
The children have continued their studies on community
helpers. We had so much fun exploring the significance
of a mail carrier! The past couple weeks have been
filled with activities involving various ideas pertaining to
the mail system. We began our studies by observing
different mailboxes. As a class, we worked together to
paint a cardboard box blue and embellished it with blue
tissue paper to resemble a U.S.A. mail box. The
following school day the children were so excited to
discover a mail carrier had delivered a special letter to
them in their classroom mailbox! Thanks again for
helping make this activity so successful! Some of the
other activities the children participated in were creating
beautiful postcards to mail to their houses and producing
stamp art with potatoes. All in all, we had a fun
filled time learning and discovering the importance of mail
carriers.
A SNEAK PEAK:
The Purple Class will continue to learn about
community helpers. We have started to explore the role of a
doctor. We began our studies by examining various
tools and supplies that a doctor may use to help us feel
better. The children had the opportunity to express
their thoughts and ideas about going to the
doctor’s office during large group. Later, they had
the opportunity to role play with these materials using
stuffed animals as their patients.
This week the Purple Class will continue their studies about
Doctors and continue to engage in an assortment of
activities that involve this profession.
