Today was Recycle Day (for the letter Rr and to wrap up our theme of Taking Care of God's World). I put out a box of odds and ends on the carpet, and they started to create. After a while I told them they could keep creating or go to free choice centers. Most of them kept working until clean up time - and they cleaned up the big mess really well too!

We had a lot of fun. PLUS we ate dirt... Through our recycling unit we have read and talked a bit about composting. We are in the process of watching a pepper rot. It's getting nice and squishy! Today we did some 'composting' in the classroom. We put 'dirt' (Oreo) in our little 'garden' (cup). We mixed up some 'compost' (pudding) and added a (gummy) worm to help. Yummy!
I love eating dirt - at least that kind! :-)
