Planning for Service Learning
Grade level: Kindergarten
Content-learning about:
-farming
-goods and services
Service Need:
People around the world need a way to make a living. By providing livestock we can provide a way for them to make an income as well as a way to fight hunger.
Service Idea:
Raise money for Heifer International. Donate livestock to people who need to make a living.
GOAL= $20
Preparation:
Study farms and what farmers do in order to have an income.
Action:
Students will raise money by participating in an ongoing jump-rope-a-thon during recess.
Reflection:
We will keep a chart showing the progress the class has made towards our goal and how much money they have raised. (Money will be turned in all at once at the end of the project.)
Youth Voice and Choice:
The students are the ones earning the money. They will get sponsors and they will choose to jump rope at recess (or not to jump rope).
Curricular Connections:
Ø English/Language Arts: students will describe people, places, things locations and actions
related to the farm (ELAKLSV)
Ø Social Studies/History: study farmers and work that they do and how they earn income
(SSKE1, SSKE2)
Ø Mathematics: Graph the progress as the students earn money
Ø Science: students will learn about the needs of living things and how to provide for them.
(SKCS6)
Ø Other: Participates in fitness and conditioning activities (PEK 4.1)
Skill and Development:
-counting money
-graphing
-working in personal space
