We Recycle!!

On Monday we had a presenter come into class to talk about recycling and the importance it has on the environment. 


As a school we are promoting recycling by placing bins around the school labeled "GLASS," "PAPER," and "CANS" These bins will be in each hallways as well as in the school cafeteria. Students are highly encouraged to participate in this "Go Green" movement at Fairview School. 


Something that the students loved was that we learned how to make recycled paper out of old class assignments. We will be doing this activity in class next week, but below is the link to the page of instructions incase students wanted to look and see what we are going to do, or they could try it out on their own with parental help, as it involves using a blender.

The Water Cycle

We are currently in a unit about the water cycle (evaporation, condensation, precipitation.) Here is a diagram to help with understanding.

We will be doing activities and experiments in class that help to better understand this cycle. 


This is part of a "Bill Nye the Science Guy" video that I showed in class that the class really enjoyed!
