"Tiny Hands, Learning to Make a Difference" is a group comprised of some wonderful parents and their children, aged 3-grade 2. Our goal is to bring our children age appropriate awareness of the conditions of the world they live in and what they can do to make a difference! If you are interested in starting your own "Tiny Hands" organization, please contact us for more information.

Happy Valentines Day from Tiny Hands!



With forecasts of big snow, we moved our event up one day and brought our flowers and cards to the teachers on February 13th.
With much enthusiasm, the children took turns going classroom to classroom handing out flowers to the 19 teachers and support staff at our local elementary school.

THanks to all who attended!

January focus: Honoring teachers



This month we've chosen to honor the teachers and support staff at our local elementary school where many of our children are attending and even more will be in the next few years.

We honor all of the teachers who will influence our children's lives!
Especially for...
Demonstrating a passion or love for one’s subject.
Challenging students to better themselves.
Working within the family to encourage learning.
Setting an example of civic responsibility and challenging students to consider the ethics of a situation.
Using creative or innovative practices in the classroom in order to enliven or enhance classroom participation.
Consistently setting an example for students on how to conduct one’s self.
Consistently helping students in problematic situations, and demonstrating an evenness of mind when doing so.
Demonstrating acts of courage.

On Valentines Day, Tiny Hands will be delivering bouquets of flowers and handmade cards for all the teachers and support staff at our local elementary school.

If you live in our community (Northwestern R.I.) with a child between the ages of 3 and grade 2, and would like to participate, please email k.swanson@cox.net
