My Project

We are asking for some books and other toys so students can learn about recycling and helping the environment. We will also learn about the coral reef habitat and why it is important.

We want students to learn about reusing items and creating new things from items that might otherwise be thrown away.

Students will also increase academic skills through role playing, sorting, and learning new vocabulary.

These items will allow preschool students to read about recycling and helping the ocean. The items will also allow for students to explore and discuss what it means to recycle.

Thank you for helping our young students learn to save the earth!
