While many of the students completed their homework, Serge shared with me that on his way to S.C. (by way of Augusta, Ga.) he saw an area BIGGER than our school where all of the trees had been cut down. He thought that it was an area where the paper mill in Augusta needed the wood. He stated that he felt sorry about the loss of trees. I think that it is great that my students are beginning to make real-world connections with the fact that we are losing more and more trees/forests EACH DAY.
Recycling UPDATE:
Today, my student ambassadors took more control. Mikail and Zoey handled the morning announcements like professional newscasters. Great job Ladies! I told them that they are now responsible for ALL announcements for our recycling program (each Tuesday morning). In the afternoon, both girls did an excellent job of interviewing Ms. Regena Jones and with recording the actions (good points and problems) during our team recycling.
While we were collecting paper products, I realized that at one point there were students who did not have access to an ambassador or to me because they did not have an after-school radio. SOLUTION: The ambassadors will take positions on the middle hallways (between Kindergarten and 1st grade classes & between 2nd grade and 5th grade classes...where 4th grade intersect with both hallways) to make sure that communication is maintained. For the most part, they will be stationary which would allow the students to find them, when necessary. The ambassador working on K-1 hallway will then follow the team picking up Kindergarten's recycled paper to the office and Media Center.
