Beginning next week our family unit study is all about how to
reduce our trash output, what we can reuse, and how to recycle.
I will be learning right alongside my children and thought you
might enjoy a peek at the resources we’ll be using along the
way. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! – A lapbook to do from Hand of a
Child. It covers garbage, landfills, the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle), composting, and more. Recycle City Game – This gem can
be explored online or downloaded for free, look around! Planet
Protector – Printable activities and games. The Environmental
Kids Club – This free site includes links to the two resources
above and a whole lot more. This is a part of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency’s online presence and is quite
comprehensive. Conservationist for Kids magazine – Each issue is
available free online, hosted by the New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation. Aimed at 4th graders. There are
links in the left sidebar for educator resources to print for
free. Earth911 –
