My Project

My students have been finding that we use a lot of paper products in the classroom to wipe off whiteboards that we use daily, and want to be able to reduce the amount of paper towels that they use daily out of the trash cans. We are also running out of markers for the whiteboards, which would then lead us to use even more paper in the classroom to review their learning as we get ready for end of year testing. I have also noticed that the organization station we use is wasting a lot of paper to help organize sections, so being able to have reusable file folders and a place to organize the folders on.

Being able to encourage my students to be conscientious of their paper waste and find other items that can be used instead is promoting students to care for our world.
