Recycling

Dear Parents,

We are learning how to make wise choices of the disposal or recycling of materials. Learning how to do this is part of our science TEKS.
Here are some Internet sites that you and your child can explore and learn about recycling together.

At the Recycle City site, you can play Dumptown Game. You become the new City Manager and get people to start to recycle. You are in charge of 10 different programs to manage and a budget. Watch how waste is reduced as people start to recycle. How fun!

At this site Recycle Works it gives information on how to reduce, recycle, and how to buy recycled items. It also breaks down what is actually in our trash and landfills. Their is little quizzes on how much you know or learn.

This site I don't want to clean my room is fun and informational. Anita's room is a smelly mess and her dad is making her clean it up. Help her decide what to recycle, throw away, or reuse by clicking on objects in her room and put them in the right box. This might help you decide on how to clean your own rooms.

Enjoy all these activities.
More to come next week!
Ms. Wheeler
