After reading Recycling by Gail Gibbons, we will discuss the following questions as a class:
What can be done to reduce the amount of garbage we produce?
How are we going to inspire the students in our school to help us?
Who is a Community Helper that can help us with our plan?

*Note for the teacher: It's a good idea to take notes during this activity. Using an SmatBoard could add an interactive element. Post these notes in the box below. Kids can then refer to the notes in a later activity.

After posting the notes from the discussion, visit the Fact Monster website to learn about the 3R's.
Read each one carefully, you will be asked to choose one of the R's to become an expert in!
Print out this worksheet to complete as you read through the Fact Monster webpage. We can talk about the information you collect in the next meeting session.
Post your choice along with your first name and last initial here. (for example, Linda M.-Recycle)
Once you have started your research, you may find that you run into problems or have questions. Please post any questions that your group may have. The librarian and I will be checking this box frequently in order to answer questions or offer advise.
