Podcast-Brittany's script

Hello parents! This is Miss Newcomb and I am also one of the third grade teachers at Silver Lake Elementary. Myself, as well as the other two third grade teachers, are very excited about this Unit on Recycling!
Ultimately, our goal is to create a community that promotes recycling within Silver Lake Elementary School. In order to be successful in creating this pro recycling community here in the school, we need the help of everyone. This includes teachers, students, parents, and family members at home. Our final goal is to have a school atmosphere at Silver Lake Elementary that is conducive to good recycling habits. With the involvement of each and every classroom in the school, we want to make school wide recycling bins to place in each classroom, as well as high traffic areas such as the cafeteria, the playground, the parking lot, the school office, the library, and even in the hallways. By doing this, we are hoping that students will begin to see how easy and efficient recycling can be and how important it is to a community, not only to reduce unnecessary waste, but also to try to instill in others the importance of reducing waste, reusing recyclable materials, and recycling products appropriately. By creating this school wide recycling atmosphere, your children will gain an appreciation for recyclable materials and they will also begin to see how their efforts to recycle at school can also be done at home. These small steps can promote recycling within the larger community and our ideas can be used to create neighborhood and community wide recycling.

Marissa: Podcast Ideas

So, for the podcast, I'll be doing the introduction, and I'll be working through that script all the way until Monday calss next week, and then we can get things recorded for us to get this project completed.

Have fun girls! See you tonight at Lecture! :)

Lesson Plan #2

For lesson plan #2, I'm going to be collecting data on the number of recycled items brought into school. I will be dividing it up by how many items each class brings in and what kind of item they brought ex bottles, cans, paper, and plastic.

Revised Concept Map

Lesson Plan #2-Brittany

For this lesson plan, I will be doing "what classes will participate in a recycling project schoolwide?"

I am changing my lesson plans a bit. I am focusing on where students can recycle:

Lesson Plan 1: Research locations for recycling in their area

Lesson Plan 2: Data Collection in regards to where students can recycle!

So I'll be honest, the lesson plans are a bit difficult to make sure that all three of us are flowing with our theme!

Oh Well! We'll make it work!

I'll have to fix lesson plan #1!

Movie

Hey Guys! For my movie I will be doing a fictional movie about what the world would look like if we didn’t recycle.

Lesson plan

For the final assessment for the lesson plan I am going to have the students do a powerpoint. I just wanted to post this so that none of us do the same thing :)

For my movie I will be doing a fictional movie about the journey of a can all the way to a recycling location.

Brittanys Movie Maker Idea

For the movie, I think that I am going to take a recyclable, household object and show how it can be used for something else

Mary's lesson plan topic

My topic will be how you can reuse recyclable objects.

question?

Ladies, I was wondering if we could do a different grade level than kindergarten? I'm having trouble finding websites that would work for students that young!

Lesson Plan Idea

I just wanted to let my group know that I got an idea for my lesson plan. I think that I am going to narrow my concept of where does the recycling go to: Where does the pop can go? In class we will focus on the pop cans, and where they go at recycling centers. Then as an extension, I will be having the students research another item that can be recycled, and research and find it's place of being recycled. IT will be a big web that we can put together for closure of the unit! I'm excited about it!

Brittany's Lesson plan topic

My topic is going to be Recyclable Materials at Home, prior to Mary's Lesson

Topic for Marissa's Lesson Plan

For Lesson Plan #1 I will be focusing on what to do with recyclable materials. I hope that students will gain a better understanding of what to do with all the objects they learned about in previous lessons. My lesson will be at the end of a unit to sum everything up for the students and bring great closure to the unit on recycling!
