My last day of student teaching was a lot harder than I expected. When I assigned the Recycling and Plastic Awareness Project I was nervous that not all of the students would be able to find something to create. However, I was pleased with the results I saw. Some of the kids had great ideas for alternate uses of recycling various materials; for instance, one of the students realized a used McDonalds beverage container could be utilized to hold markers or pencils. Below is an image of this repurposed object.
