This project will allow my 4th-grade students to engage in a project-based learning unit. These materials will give them the opportunity to work through the process of identifying a problem within our global community, and how their school community is most impacted. The books will be used to research and become experts on why recycling is so important, so they can then develop ideas to help the school become more efficient recyclers. The rest of the supplies like the markers, stickers, etc. will allow students to design, develop, and construct hands-on solutions to the problem.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
