This week we've been getting back in the habit of recycling our paper and plastic waste. Last Friday our CCUA friends came over to teach the kids about recycling used paper to make new paper and how to properly sort and recycle our trash. We learned that paper with food on it cannot be recycled and that plastics can only be recycled in Columbia if they are marked with a 1 or 2. We are all working towards reducing the overall waste in our classroom and are taking positive steps such as composting and recycling to help our environment.
Students tear up used paper before blending it into a pulp to make paper
Pressing the pulp onto felt absorbs the moisture and allows the paper to try
Students sort waste into recycled paper, plastic, metal or trash
Robin looks to see if the plastic cup is marked with a 1 or 2. It wasn't, so it had to be thrown in the trash.
