Week 4 Blog

           This week had basically been starting all of the projects. We have all of the collections starting in the school. Everyone loved the video that we made and got the classes to watch it. Most of the elementary saw it, but I don't think that all the middle school did. We got all of the bins that we need for the school. We put signs on them so that everyone knows that that is where they drop it off. It has been going really slow but I think that as the project goes on, we will get a lot more participation from everyone!
          
           We have also got everything together for our contest/craft/lessons. We will be having the 3rd graders collecting as many 2-liter pop bottles that they can. The class that collects that most will get to plant a couple trees on the school grounds. All of the bottles will be given to the art teacher. She is going to be teaching all the kids how to make a creation out of recycled materials. While they area making them, we the recycling team will be giving them lessons that we created. We will be teaching them how it can be fun for them to recycle. Hopefully, this will get them to recylce in their homes.
          
           Over the weekend, we will be having our paper drive. Our group gave out fliers to the neighborhood around our school. It says to bring in all of the newspaper and other papers to the backlot of our school. This is also a part of another groups project. They will be creating flower pots out of only newspapers. Something that we did this week was we created our second video all about plastic. It is a lot more advanced than our last video. My group is hoping that it will want to people to participate more than they are now.
