This week my group has been working on arranging the materials for the third grade project. We are going to start collecting on Monday, May 7. The third graders will be bringing in 2 liter bottles to make a project. This project will be an animal made out of the brought in 2 liter bottles. The only other materials needed are paper and paint to add to the project. We have a lesson planned on a power point to teach the students. The lesson includes questions for the 3rd graders to answer and participate with. We will continue collecting our whole school project be collecting plastic from May 7, and ending May 18.
Our whole school collection is beginning to come together. We collected a tub full of recyclables from wing one. We have made a video about recycling plastic. This video will be available on YouTube. We are planning to make another video for battery recycling. This will begin May 21, and end June 1. Our groups goal for the whole school collection is to involve the whole school in a collection. We hope that more people will contribute to our drive the more we publicize it.
Our goal for the third grade project is to show how easy, fun, and creative recycling can be. We want to inspire the next generation to recycle and learn the benefits. The lessons we will be educational and will include facts about recycling. The students will have to participate.Our goal is to make connections to their lives that they will understand. They will be able to truly know how recycling effects them everyday. The whole school participation is a big step towards our goal of getting others involved. The other part of our goal is to inspire. That part will happen through our 3rd grade art project.
