TOMS Boxes - Beyond One For One - Page 79
Care Corner Photo Journal - Volume 5
I love my TOMS shoes. (I am convinced they were made just for teachers.) The TOMS stands for "tomorrow's shoes" because for every pair you buy they donate a pair to a child in need. "One for One". I have LOTS of TOMS shoes and many TOMS boxes. I use the "one for one" boxes for independent activities in reading. There are boxes with letters, words, puzzles, magnets, etc. all to help enrich their language, phonics and reading. Today's TOMS groups were even more special as they completed each skill and added even more. One girl used her magnetic letters to write a "love note", one little girl built the whole ABC caterpillar, another was thrilled to complete the whole word puzzle and one little boy took extra time helping her pick up. Even though they worked alone...we all shared in the joy of learning which made today's TOMS activities...beyond one for one.
