Last week students were introduced to the idea of recycling. Look for the new green recycling bin in our classroom. On one side we will be recycling plastic (like those "will be with us in a million years" plastic grocery bags), and on the other we will be recycing paper (imagine how much paper we can recycle in a school!)

Recycling is a pretty normal thing in my house. We recycle all plastic, glass and this year we started breaking down all carboard...like cereal boxes. I need to be better about taking a bag with me to the store and things like that. There are always things you can do!
