Children love cookies. Preschool students love cookies. It is very difficult for young children to give away cookies.
My preschool students are learning about generosity all during the month of December.
They got a head start on their generosity lessons during the week of Thanksgiving when they collected canned foods to share with an organization in town.
They were already aware of the definition of generosity when December rolled in and they began collecting coats and sweaters in the coat drive.
Next came the cookies. My students baked cookies, individually wrapped them in plastic wrap, and tied a string around the top to place them in a big basket to share with others in the school. This is the third year of being generous with our cookies and the students are doing very well with knowing those cookies are for others, not for them.
