It is ZERO WASTE WEEK! We have had an absolute blast learning about and experiencing what it means to reduce-reuse-recycle. We had no electricity day, which we realized we could extend to the entire week! The class did extensive brainstorming on ways we can conserve electricity, water, paper, and other resources. We found many reusable materials to re purpose in the classroom such as empty jugs for watering and planting, container lids as painting tools, and pine cones as a way to feed birds. Our Junk to Funk fashion show was a hit with our preK class! Miss Jennifer and Miss Jenn walked the catwalk while our very excited class cheered them on. We are incredibly lucky to be a part of such a caring community at Stevenson School and weeks like this really encompass how special it is.
