Fourth grade has partnered with the Department of Architecture at the University of Memphis to participate in an exciting opportunity!
The Department of Architecture reuses plastic bottles to create innovative designs. Fourth grade has been challenged to collect empty plastic bottles, and the college students/professors are going to turn our 'trash' into treasure! They will show the children the process, the designs in progress, the importance of recycling, and how their contributions matter.
Additionally, they have invited all of you to their opening event downtown Wednesday, April 29 to show off their creations with our plastic!
The challenge: Can each of the three homeroom's collect at least 250 plastic bottles before Friday, April 24? (This can be former bottles of soda, water, milk, OJ, etc.) Please rinse out the bottles before turning in.
Is it ok to bring them in ON April 24th, so we can save up even more? If you want them sooner, though, we do have nearly a full trash bag full!
ReplyDeleteYou most certainly can wait until April 24th! Thank you!
