small change for a BIG CHANGE

One of the most wonderful things about teaching Kindergarten is seeing the tremendous growth in each child! Children who may not have known all of their letters when they came to Kindergarten are now writing and beginning to read! It truly is amazing. My crew has been working very hard on learning all about Water and are truly committed to raising some money to buy Water Filtration Kits ...
We have begun drafting posters to make to hang around the school to get the word out about our Community Service Project! On Monday, we talked about the poster making process, we talked about what we were raising money for and what kinds of backgrounds and pictures should go on our fundraising posters. The children made some GREAT designs ... We also talked about slogans that could go onto our posters once we created the background.
Today we looked at some fundraising posters and water conservation posters on Google so that the children could see the many styles of letters and colors used on posters. We spent about 45 minutes practicing writing out Slogans with NO backgrounds to see how we can fit words onto a page! For FIRST DRAFTS ... they are remarkable!!!!!!

Trying BUBBLE letters!

Making BIG, BOLD letters ....

 

Using BRIGHT colors so the words POP off the page!

Using just PENCIL to make BUBBLE letters

Adding a small sketch of the world to see how it will work with the slogan

 

We also made "mini" posters and tagged our WATER BOTTLES to collect

small change to make a BIG CHANGE because EVERY drop in the BUCKET COUNTS!

If you'd like to help us collect small change to purchase Water Filtration Kits through Bucker Int'l
