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.

Trees for the Future

Why should we plant trees? Because they change our lives. Trees give food to people and animals. We need trees to build houses and schools. We burn wood from trees to keep warm in the winter. Trees help to keep our environment clean and green. Trees for the Future work with farmers and community groups to plant trees. We also help people grow special forest gardens with fruits and vegetables. We help people all around the world have better lives by planting trees. You can help, too, by donating money on the Trees for the Future website. Every dollar you donate can buy a new tree.

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.
