Help Us Learn How to Take Care of Our Planet!

Help me give my students the chance to learn about recycling because students spend 40 hours a week at school learning about important things, why not make recycling one of them!

My Project

I am able to teach a little over 500 students a week. I would love to incorporate recycling into our everyday lives here at my school. I think teaching children not only why, but also how in real time, is very important.

With these supplies such as the recycling bins, recycle signs, and books we will be talking about recycling and also adding in the SEL aspect of taking care of people and why it's cool to care.

These are two big rocks for me personally and I believe that the children will be excited to learn them as well.

With your help we can make a difference! Plastic Island no more!
