Every year my class does special monthly projects with an environmental focus. As a school, we emphasize being "green" in many ways, but there is always more to be done. In the classroom, we do everyday things like recycling, using both sides of the paper, and keeping the playground litter-free - but we will also be environmental superheroes by doing these special projects on a monthly basis.
Families who were with me last year will recognize some of these, and some are new. If you have an idea for a future superhero project, let me know!
September - waste free lunch challenge
October - start vermicomposting station (worm bin)
November - vegan pumpkin bread, just in time for Thanksgiving
December - bake sale for birdies - proceeds used to sponsor a raptor at Leslie Science and Nature Center
January - toy swap? (still thinking about this one ...)
February - valentines for the birds - winter nature walk with hot cocoa and decorate a tree
March - make "green" cleaning solution for spring cleaning
April - earth day special event - Trader Joe's grocery bags
May - field trip to Leslie Science and Nature Center to visit "our" raptor
June - harvest castings from worm bin
