About the environment
Through Action!
The fifth graders collected data around the school by
creating and giving out surveys, making observations, and researching how and what our school is doing to be GREEN.
Throughout the year we have been planning activities that teach students about Reducing, Reusing, Recycling, Rot, Rethinking, Respecting, and more. Keep reading to find out how we are educating our community to start thinking about the environment.

No Plastic Challenge!
Ms. Sairy's Class Challenged the whole school via video to not use plastic bottles for a week. Then Ms. Kasey's class answered back. In the end, the classes who successfully completed the challenge were treated to treats!
Educating our community through Poetry...
Fifth graders researched and found poetry that was written about our environment.
They then shared with other Lincoln Students and asked them questions about the poems they read and discussed different ways we can help our Lincoln Community become more aware of the environment. They also created their own poems about our environment.

Let’s Recycle
Look around, there’s so much plastic, Let’s recycle, it’s fantastic. Don’t forget, about paper and glass, Recycle together, with your entire class. We’ll make sure, we never litter, Let’s recycle, we’re not quitters. When we place our garbage, in the right bin, Both us and nature, will clearly win. Thanks for keeping the environment healthy and clean, Recycling is fun, and also quite green. Found by Javier Gomez at anitapoems.com |
Recycle Guide
A little triangle with number inside Tells you the plastic-a useful guide... Clear bottles are made from number 1 Re-use, recycle when your done. HDPE bottles, you can't see through- Bear the label number 2. Clear packaging labelled number 3 It's all made from PVC. Plastic bags-they're hard to ignore. They're all made from number 4 Tubs & trays that you have seen Labelled '5'-Polypropylene Polystyrene-pots again... To recycle '6', we try in vain! Seven is anything that is not one to six! ABS, polycarbonate, or simply a mix Re-use that bag, tray or pot. Valuable resources are all we've got. So "what can I recycle?" I hear you ask- Remember this rhyme to complete the task. ONE and TWO you can do Keep FIVE and SIX out the mix FOund by Maria Fernanda Monge at http://lightwater.wordpress.com/2008/05/30/recyling-in-schools/ |
