It is about grade two teacher Linda Croy who started an assignment that made her students learn that happiness can be felt by being generous.The assignment was simple. She just gave each student a piece of paper with instructions and in it is a $5 bill. She allowed the student two weeks to finish the assignment and the result was surprising.

“This is a great group of students, and they came up with some ideas that I never would have dreamed of. I’m so proud of them, and I think they all had fun with the assignment.” She said.

The assignment? It is about being generous to each other. The students are instructed to do a good deed to people other than their relatives. They can spend the $5 to accomplish the task.
