Next week is earth week. There are many activities that will be taking place at school and in the classroom. Students can participate in daily trivia questions to win a prize. We will also be participating in a garbage can challenge where the garbage cans will be replaced with a small paper bag. Students are encouraged to not bring in packaged foods. If they do bring in packaged foods they are encouraged to bring any non recyclable waste home to minimize our use of the garbage can. This activity is to increase awareness about the amount of waste that we generate.
We will be participating in a crayolacylce challenge where students are encouraged to bring in any used markers from home to be recycled and reused by Crayola. The used markers can be from any brand.
We are also participating in a battery recycling drive. Batteries contain toxic materials that should be properly disposed of. Any batteries can also be brought to school to be properly recycled.
There will be a prize for the class that brings in the most used batteries and markers. I think that Mr. Spindler' class will rise to the challenge.
Also a reminder that students will be attending the transition day on April 22.
Next week we will be looking at measurement relationships in math and poetry in language. Students will begin to compose their own poetry by the end of the week.
Have a great weekend.
