And we have a saying for our sign!

Today we finalized our saying/slogan for our "no littering" sign on the playground. I started by putting all the sayings we came up with on the board, and for 1st graders, I have to say, they came up with some pretty cute sayings. (I added a few of my own as well.) I read each of them to the students and then explained "Keep-Scratch" which they actually picked up on pretty quickly. After several rounds, a few "Can you get behind another one on the board?", a couple modifications, and a small crying spell, we had our saying. The majority of the students really liked "Our school is not your dumpster! Don't litter!", however there were a few others that some students felt strongly about because they came up with them. One had to do with not littering on the playground, so we modified "school" to "playground" and the other said "Don't ever litter", in which we were able to modify "don't litter" to include "ever". With all that said - the saying on our no littering on the playground sign will read.... drum roll please.....

Our playground isn't your dumpster!
Don't ever litter!
