My Project

Using our Creative Curriculum study for Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, my classroom is going to start talking about what that means to them and how we can implement recycling in their lives. The manipulatives and books that are part of this project would help immensely as the students are all very hands-on learners. Additionally, within the school itself, I have been recycling ink and toner cartridges. Having a container with wheels that I could bring around the school, or that could become a student-led activity for older scholars in the building, would make the process much more streamlined and result in a lot more recycling of these cartridges happening!
