Happy New Year!

  One thing I'm particularly proud of is that we have started a RECYCLING project that I foresee continuing for the rest of the year.  Of course, this depends on the interest of the class.  Once they lose interest, there's no sense in continuing a study, we can move onto something they ARE interested in.  But so far, they have really enjoyed repurposing recyclable items.  

This is our Christmas tree in our classroom decorated COMPLETELY with recycled ornaments.  They are water bottles.  Can you believe it?  GORGEOUS!!!!

The children also made their own glitter bottles to take home.  The photo doesn't really do justice as to how lovely they are, but you can definitely see the sparkle. 

We discussed before the break that they would like to build an igloo from milk jugs, so we will be doing this in the New Year.  Look for pictures.
