My Project

I plan to use these items to help I still in my students an understanding why recycling, reusing and reducing waste is so critical.

Teaching my students about ways of recycling, reducing waste and reusing items in a creative way is my way of helping save our planet.

Each item donated will help me teach my students about the importance of preserving our earth and ways to accomplish that. The books, and Evan Moore stem packs will help embed the reasons behind recycling. I will use all items during the week of Earth day next Spring to implement reduce, reuse and recycling into our daily lives and the importance of it, for our future. All standards will be added to this learning project. My goal is to teach my students how important it is to reuse, reduce waste and recycle items for the rest of their lives, as well as to teach the understanding of why it is crucial to change our habits to save the earth.
