Community Service due May 4th
All 2nd graders are required to complete 6-8 hours of community service and create a project to showcase their experience. Think about great ways to serve the community in which you live or go to school. Community service is a great way to make a positive difference. Spring Break is an excellent time to make sure you have all your things in order. 
Your Presentation is due May 4th. Some great ways to prepare your presentation are:

• Large poster board

• Video

• Photo Album

• Scrapbook

• Google Slides (Click HERE for step-by-step tutorial on using Google Slides)  ** Preferred **

  • Google Slides is the preferred presentation method because:
    Keeps Things Organized – Helps you put your information in order on slides. Fun to Look At – You can add pictures, videos, and cool effects to make your presentation exciting. Easy to Change – You can fix or add things anytime before you present. Use It Anywhere – You can open and share it on different computers. Helps You Speak – The slides remind you what to say while keeping your audience focused on you! Gets You Ready for 3rd Grade and Beyond – You will use Google Slides for projects in 3rd grade and in the future, so this is great practice!

Presentations are not limited to the ones on this list. If you have a question about your service project, just ask!
Your Presentation MUST Include:

• Pictures showing you doing your community service

• Why did you choose your community service

• How your service impacts others

• What did you learned from doing your service project

• A breakdown of the number of hours you did your service(s) (must total at least 6 hours).

Please remember...
Community Service IS:

• Helping others who are in need

• Volunteering (not getting paid)

Community Service IS NOT:

• Helping friends with chores

• Doing chores at your own home
