Kindergarten Coin Drive

RISE visited Northside Catholic Academy to talk to two kindergarten classes. Lynn showed photos and videos, answered questions and taught a few Portuguese words ending with two hands-on experiences for the students: 1) carrying water jugs 2) mashing corn. As a follow-up, the students are hosting a coin drive.
