Early Earth Day

Help your class “go green” for 100th Day. One week prior, instruct the children to collect recyclable materials, other than paper. Divide 100 by the number of students in the class to set a target number of items per child. Request that they don’t pull items out of recycling bins. Have them collect bottles, cans, etc. from their friends at lunch or from relatives who usually toss out recyclables. That way, the students will help with the problem of overflowing landfills. Give out an “I’m 100 Days Smarter” Gold-Foil Stamped Ribbon to each student who turns in items. The ribbon is green! Count the recyclables on the designated day to see if the class made it to 100.
