Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Project

In the vibrant world of a 4th-grade classroom, rechargeable AAA and AA batteries emerge as unsung heroes.

These mighty power sources fuel and will refuel a multitude of gadgets, from interactive learning tools to science experiment kits.

The simplicity of swapping out drained batteries for freshly charged ones sparks excitement among students, eliminating the need for disposable alternatives. With colorful chargers adorned with educational illustrations, young minds learn the importance of sustainability firsthand. The batteries not only power devices but also empower the students with a lesson in environmental responsibility. The classroom buzzes with energy, both from the rechargeable batteries and the enthusiasm of budding eco-warriors.

Between our math and science labs, batteries are a necessity and should be recharged instead of disposed of irresponsibly. We will help reduce waste by recharging our batteries both figuratively and literally.
