Keeping Our School Yard Clean

While going on our weekly nature walk last week to see how nature is changing, we noticed a considerable amount of trash along the side of our school.  I mentioned that we should come out again next week ready to pick up the trash and the students LOVED the idea.  They were instantly excited and even reminded me a couple of times early this week that we should pick up the trash.  Mrs. Sullivan found the perfect gloves for students to use and we all talked about safe ways to pick up trash and things to avoid like broken glass and other sharp objects.  Students only spent about ten minutes picking up trash but filled two trash bags partially full.  Mrs. Sullivan and I were so proud of how excited the students were to clean up the trash.  It looks so much better now!
