Current coupon for this class: GIVENRECYCLEFUN5 for $5 

Are you looking for a project-based learning experience? This class is for you! 

Join me in this environmental science recycling adventure where kids get to make a difference! 
We will learn about the importance of a keeping a healthy environment, participate in a week long recycling project, and reuse an item to make a craft. 

Class 1- Introduction & recycling bin creation
The first class will focus on the importance of keeping our environment healthy. We'll toss around some ideas for ways that we can help the environment! Learners will be introduced to composting and the three R's; reduce, reuse, recycle. 
Learners will get the chance to make their own recycling bin and spend the week recycling items of various materials. We will end this class by creating our recycling bins using coloring materials, glitter/sparkles, pompoms, anything for decorating. Students can use an old box, a plastic tub, or an old trash can. 

Class 2- Recycling journey re-cap & craft 
We will begin class by sharing our recycling journey! We will discuss the amount of items students were able to recycle and how difficult or easy this project may have been. We will discuss the first R- reduce. Could we reduce the amount of plastic items used? What could we do instead? I will have examples with me (reusable baggies, water bottles, reusable grocery bags, and more). Once everyone has had a chance to share, we will share ideas of upcycling. With all of the items in their bins, there must be ways we can reuse! To end the class, we will make a reusable craft out of something in their bins! This craft will be based on the learners interests (some learners may need adult help based on the craft that they choose).
