• First Grade Earth Day Project Due: April 21st

• The first graders will be learning more about recycling, reusing, reducing, and repairing as part of our celebration of Earth Day in the coming weeks!  We are asking you and your child to complete a recycling/reusing project at home!  Each student should find items around their home that would usually be recycled or thrown away (toilet paper holders, fabric scraps, Styrofoam trays, plastic bags, etc.) and use them to create a useful item or a piece of artwork!  We want the students to use their imaginations and be creative!
• The students will share their projects with their own class and then we will have a “Recycling Museum Tour” where the students will visit all of the other first grade classrooms in order to see the wonderful projects that ALL of the students have completed!
