April's Family RECYCLING Project



It's that time again when we are asking families to work together to create something great!  This month, in honor of Earth Day, and our extensive research on the rain forest and the animals it houses I thought it would be a wonderful learning experience if we created something out of recycled/reused materials.  This doesn't need to cost families anything.  Start collecting your garbage and use it to create something new again. 

I have linked a website I found that offers a beautiful photo gallery of craft projects created using recycled materials around the house.  Feel free to replicate something you see here, or create something original. 

Can-Do Robots

There are no guidelines for this project aside from the materials used need to be recycled.  No new purchases! 

Some things I have seen students create in the past include: bird houses out of moss and a discarded water bottle, pencil holders decorated with ribbon, parachutes from grocery bags, etc.

I can't wait to see what you come up with! We will share our projects on Monday, April 22.
