My Project

Right now our classroom just has random garbage cans and recycling. It is many times very difficult for the students to determine which is which. These tall skinny designated cans would make it very clear to the children, which is recycling and which is garbage. Children really want to do the right thing sometimes it is just difficult when it is not clear. This would really help students establish what is recyclable and what is not and help them learn for a lifetime how to save the earth. I know this would make things more efficient and effective. Thank you for helping make our world a better place.

Mrs. Carbonneau will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 14.
