My Students

The trash is piling up the landfill. Wow! How can we help?

My students are 25 South Carolina students who are awesomely wonderful.

They love to help the Earth and always want to recycle. We are studying changes of matter and how to help each other. They are bright and caring. They are extremely low income and middle class.

My Project

The craft supplies, paper, glue will allow us to decorate used items for upcycling. We will then reuse these as pencil holders or boxes. The recycling activity will reteach how to recycle items into the correct bins. The items that are upcycled will go to all classes all over the school. We will write about our activities in an environmental journal.

This project will help the Earth.

Please help us recycle and upcycle. This project will guide students to be better citizens of the Earth. Please help us by donating to this science project.
