As a class, we have discussed ways to help the environment. We participate in the school recycling program with bottles and juice pouches. We recycle paper in our classroom. Our next step is to become the Jouett Elementary Glue Crew!
The Glue Crew is where we recycle glue bottles and glue sticks by collecting, cleaning, and packing the items to be taken to a local Walmart, who will make sure that the items will be sent to a proper recycling facility. When you think of how much glue is used in a school, especially an elementary, it really adds up. We've seen how, in a week, how much paper is being recycled that would normally be in a landfill. The same with bottles. The students are excited that we are doing our part to help the environment! We are decorating boxes for the other classes that are participating and will be in charge of collecting glue bottles and sticks each Friday. It's still a "work in progress," but I think we're going to have a lot of fun learning as we go! :)
