We had two great guests this week for our clubs!


Nature Club met Ms. Slither and Recycling Club saw how we reuse what we recycle! 

I am so proud of my students they were fantastic for both speakers!

School Recycling Video Contest

March is the month for making a short, fun video or slide show of your recycling team in action. Be sure your team is demonstrating correct practices in your video:

For paper:

• Flatten clean cardboard boxes (pizza boxes can be wiped out and recycled)
• Dump mixed paper in loose
• Dump empty, open milk cartons in loose
• Bag shredded paper in clear plastic bags (don’t over fill)
• Avoid tissue paper and food waste

For bottles and cans:

• Bag bottles and cans in sturdy plastic bags (don’t overfill)
• Empty and reattach lids to plastic bottles
• Rinse food containers
• Avoid styrofoam, plastic cups and anything that is not a container that came with a lid

*** Recycle Club Members Please Arrive to Recycling Next Thursday March 12th in your Recycling Club shirts ready to show off your recycling knowledge.

A fellow teacher shared this information with me and I would like to share it with you!

It's that time of year! The nest cams are coming online and soon we'll be able to watch live feed of baby birds from around the US.  This nest is in Decorah, Iowa and is located near the Iowa Fish Hatchery.  You can view live feed from the cam here:

Read more about the Decorah eagles and the eaglets hatched in this nest site here:

WARNING:  Once the eggs hatch the feeding times can be a bit graphic! 

Thank you Susan McCarthy for Sharing!!

• Recycling Club will run Thursday this week, please have your bins out and ready to be picked up that morning.
• Recycling Club will meet Friday Morning for a special guest speaker 7:30-8:00.

Finally, we still need your red recycling bin if you would like to donate it to our club. We are doing such a good job recycling at our school we could use the extra bins.
