Grade 1 Service Project: A Reflection Ms. Kelly and Ms. Fiona’s Grade 1 Classes
Dec 26, 2015
Our teachers told us that some children don’t have the
opportunity to read because they don’t have a chance to
attend school or because they have no books.
We’ve been learning that as ethical contributors to a global society it is our responsibility to
help others.
We learned about 2 people trying to spread the joy of reading to children living in poor countries around
the world.

We were inspired to take action and decided to
organize a gift jar sale in support of Bonnie’s Big Idea and Room to Read.
We created a Power Point presentation to
teach the RVIS school community about
Room to Read and Bonnie’s Big Idea. We
asked for their help.
We reflected on what it would be like not to have books to read. Then we
wrote class poems about a world without
books.
We prepared for the sale.
We made posters.
We set up the presentation
room.
We collected plastic bags.
We made sure we
had change.
Finally, the BIG day arrived!
We sold over 50 copies of Zak the Yak!
By the end of the day we had sold every
single jar!
We had a bit of help from our pre-k friends too!
Pre-k donated just over 23 BD, that’s a lot at only 100 fils per glass of
“lemoneuss”!
We are very proud of the RVIS community!
