Over the last two weeks, influenza and colds have been keeping some of the students at home for a few days, but the other students have been busy at school learning about how they can make choices that will help the environment. As they sorted through their trash, it didn't take long for the students to notice that there was an abundance of unnecessary plastic wrappers and other things made of plastic.
Many of the students were moved towards taking action as they watched some videos about the huge amounts of plastic floating in the ocean, and in landfill sites. They focussed on making plans for what they could do themselves, at home and at school. To help make others aware of the problem, they started a making a Garbage Art Project out of the trash they collected last week.
I wonder what the finished projects will look like?
Field Trip Next Thursday
To help us understand more about the topic of recycling, Grades 1 and 2 will be making a visit to the Higashi Clean Center next Thursday morning. We will be leaving school on the school bus, at around 9:30 and will take a tour of the Centre before returning to school just before lunch.
3 Way Conferences
From Monday, February 4th until Friday the 8th, we will be holding 3 Way Conferences for all students and their parents to attend after school. Please complete the form that was emailed to you earlier tonight, with your top three times to meet and return it to me by next Tuesday. I will confirm the times and dates and let you know the schedule by next Friday.
