Why Recycle?


Dear Parents,

We are learning about recycling and how important it is to the planet. Learning about recycling is a scientific process in the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills). Your child should be able to know what to recycle and local locations were to recycle at by the end of this unit.

Here are some Internet sites that you and your child can explore together. All of the sites will help you and your child know the importance of recycling and how much fun it can be.

At Recycle fun, your child can play a fun game about sorting the objects you recycle. You get to play a fun game that is like a lot of peoples favorite claw games.

Test your brain power at Resourceful Schools, learning about things you never thought could be recycled into another object. For example newsprint can be turned into Kleenex.
You and your parents will learn interesting facts and can play fun interactive games together.

AT Recycle I.Q. see how fast you can choose what to recycle and not. You can start out at the beginners level and move up to a more advanced time level. See if you can beat your parents time.

The Great Green Web Game is a fun fact filled game. There are things we all need to stop doing that harm the planet. This site has things in it I didn't even know I was doing to harm the planet. You and your parents can also see how much we can contribute to making the world a better place to live.
