Our recycling bin was getting full, so I decided to use the scraps of construction paper to decorate an Easter egg. I accidentally made too many copies of the Easter egg for a different project, so we used all of the paper to prep us for talking about Earth Day when we get back from Spring Break.
We did this project during “free time,” in which the students can have free play in the room. I called back about 5 kids at a time to work at their desks on the art. It kept them busy and it also reinforced how we can re-use paper for different projects. Normally during free time, I have a bin of paper that are extra copies or scraps, and that is the paper they can draw on. So they were already familiar with recycling paper.
