Read the article about a school recycling project. And decide the statements are true (T) or false (F). Our Recycling Project Hello everyone, I am Jackson. Last Thursday, my class learned about what we can do with things we normally throw away, like plastic bottles. Afterwards, our teacher asked us to make something useful out of trash and show the class on Monday. I made toys out of toilet paper rolls. I painted the paper rolls and added eyes, hair, and hats. My favorite toy is a silly monster with four eyes. I gave one (a cute witch) to my little sister. My friend, Riley, reused cans and plastic cups to make plant pots. She painted and drew eyes for them to make them look like rabbits and cats. I thought recycling would be boring but it is not. This project was really fun and useful. I did not know that we can make so many things from trash. Sentences True/ False 1. Jackson learned about recycling last Wednesday. 2. Jackson used to make his toys by toilet paper rolls. 3. The toy Jackson likes most is “a cute witch”. 4. Riley used to make plant pots by plastic bottles. 5. Jackson thinks the project is fun and useful.

Read the article about a school recycling project. And decide the statements are true (T) or false (F). Our Recycling Project Hello everyone, I am Jackson. Last Thursday, my class learned about what we can do with things we normally throw away, like plastic bottles. Afterwards, our teacher asked us to make something useful out of trash and show the class on Monday. I made toys out of toilet paper rolls. I painted the paper rolls and added eyes, hair, and hats. My favorite toy is a silly monster with four eyes. I gave one (a cute witch) to my little sister. My friend, Riley, reused cans and plastic cups to make plant pots. She painted and drew eyes for them to make them look like rabbits and cats. I thought recycling would be boring but it is not. This project was really fun and useful. I did not know that we can make so many things from trash. Sentences True/ False 1. Jackson learned about recycling last Wednesday. 2. Jackson used to make his toys by toilet paper rolls. 3. The toy Jackson likes most is “a cute witch”. 4. Riley used to make plant pots by plastic bottles. 5. Jackson thinks the project is fun and useful.
