Each year, the children in my class do 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.
