The Giraffe Project

The 4^th and 5^th graders have been working on a special project called the Giraffe Project. In the project we have been learning about human giraffes. You’re probably wondering what a human giraffe is, so we will explain . A human giraffe is someone who sticks there neck out for others and their community, they take helpful action when they see a problem. The reason their teaching us this is so we can become a human giraffe ourselves and stick up for the things we believe are fair and right. Some of the human giraffes we have read about include, The Earth Defenders and Hazel Wolf.  The Earth Defenders are a good example because when they saw a problem in their community they took helpful action by cleaning up their streets when they were full of garbage and junk. Another example is Hazel Wolf. She is a good example because when people weren’t taking care of the plants and animals she cared about. She never stopped trying even after she went to jail for protesting for what she believed in.

If you saw something bad happening in your community, would you take action?
