As we are learning about conservation, our class created a powerpoint presentation that I can try to download tomorrow and post. In the powerpoint, we asked Mrs. Martindale about our idea of how we would like to reuse our straws and sporks from breakfast.
First, we talked about how to get Mrs. Martindale to come into our classroom to see our presentation. The class decided to make an invitation to give her time periods and days when we were available to see if she could meet with us during any of those times. Then we talked about how to get this invitation to her so we took the large piece of chart paper and make it into a paper airplane for, "air mail." Mrs. Martindale loved it and returned her rsvp in the form of air mail as well.
Finally, she met with us and was very impressed with the powerpoint presentation. She said that were allowed to wash the straws and sporks like we had been doing and "repurpose" them by continuing to give to Mrs. G in the innovation station. Then the suggestion was also made that we could wash the sporks and straws and use them by ourselves, not each other, if they are put into a baggie just for the week and then we recycle them not throw them out. Apparently, they also wanted to do this at lunch because I heard from another teacher that there were students that asking to use the restroom to wash their straws and put them in their baggies to reuse throughout the week. I think that this whole experience has been awesome!! I know that some of you have seen at home the excessive reusing of some things at home. I'm sorry but it is bettering the environment!!!
Look for the powerpoint to be posted soon!!!
