Making Recycled Paper

Everyday we use something that is made from trees. One of the things we use most often – especially in school- is paper. Because paper is so important to us and because we use so much of it, we need to make sure we don’t waste it. It only takes a second to use a napkin or tissue, but decades for a tree to grow. Fortunately, we can save trees by using less paper and by recycling paper. I taught my second graders how paper is recycled. They also used the newly made paper to create cards for their friends and families. If you are interested in saving trees, below are the steps of recycling papers. Try it; you’ll enjoy it!

Not- So- Scary- Scarecrow

We made a class scarecrow out of unused materials...We used newspapers, yarn, buttons, green paper bag. The scarecrow told us about the problems he's facing when protecting the fields. He wants more fields and more plants....He's getting sick from the chemicals the farmers use in their fields and needs fresh air. He also feels bored scaring the crows the whole night and needs scarecrow friends to have fun together.

our lovely snowman

We've made a snowman out of junk materials...Now we have a new class member who is telling us about climate change...and how the snow is melting and he's afraid to lose his family and friends. We promised our snowman to do our best to help save our mother Earth.
