Where does the trash go?

 Because Tu B'shvat is coming up, we started off the week speaking about our world and why we need  it.

Using shaving cream and water color paint to create a swirling green and blue earth like we see in space.

We spoke about why it's important that there are trees and grass everywhere.

We learned that trees create the air we breathe, and we create the carbon dioxide that trees need.

So we work together.

But a lot of trees are being cut down to make paper and furniture.

STEM science challenge, trying to see how many apples can stand on the tree.

Color our world by number, we could hardly believe that this paper is made from a tree.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

We spoke about how many families are trying to reduce the trash they make, by using containers for food instead of bags.

Making stamps out of recycled materials like toilet paper tubes and egg cartons.

Recycling means remaking it into something else to use.

Thanks to Emma M. and her family for sending us in recycling materials this year!

Recycling, roll, count and color.

Creating a fun collage out of Recycled trash!

We had to plan out our collages, cut the pieces and then glue everything down.

Learning that our trash goes into a landfill, and watching a video about it.

Everyone found it pretty gross to think about all that trash going into the ground.

Sorting the "trash," figuring out which letters go in each recycling can.

We had to think which alphabet each letter belongs to, the ABC's or Aleph Bais.

learning about ocean pollution, and the effects that oil spills can have on sea animals. 

Oil is not easy to clean up from water!
