Students in grades 4 and 5 are learning the elements of paragraph writing (main idea and details) by writing about their experience picking up garbage and by writing about the ways we recycle here at school.
Grade 4-5 students walked around the entire school yard and picked up trash. We gathered an enormous, heavy trash bag full. Students were dismayed to discover the amount of trash that comes from our recess snacks and lunches that does not get put in the garbage.
The grade 5-6-7 class went on a nature hike. They discussed what they saw and experienced on their walk. Each student picked up at least one piece of trash to clean up our beautiful mountain.
1A picked up garbage in front of the school.
1D went out to pick up garbage around the school and we talked about where the garbage should go to help make our planet healthy.
