REDUCE , REUSE , RECYCLE

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT RECYCLING?

This week we learned that some items can be recycled and used again. Recycling helps keep our earth beautiful. During this unit the class will learn how to reuse items and create less trash. The parents were asked to bring in paper, plastic and metal that we could sort and recycle. We made a collage with old catalogs and magazines.

WHAT CAN WE DO WITH JUNK?

This week we talked about things we can make from junk. Items are put in the trash everyday that could be used again. Our number of the week was thirteen and we counted thirteen milk jugs. The children played with the jugs and used their creative skills during center time.

WE MADE BINOCULARS

The children painted toilet paper rolls and we made binoculars with them. We are learning that we can reuse items.

EARTH DAY

We took a nature walk around our beautiful campus. After our walk we painted the earth.

THE LANDFILL

The sensory bin was the place to be during center time. The children learned that items that are not recycled are put into the landfill. I made our sensory bin into the city landfill and the children pretended to move trash and bury it. We talked about how sad landfills are and that trash can hurt our land. Children are never to young to help take care of the earth.
