Nov. 30, 2007 - End of Unit 4!
How exciting that we are this far into the Interlock! I have to admit I crammed Week 11 into one day because we had covered so many of the topics already. Our beans have been growing for several weeks now and we know quite a lot about seeds and the benefits of plants to our lives. Today we focused on recycling paper and the importance of planting new trees. We took a field trip to our town's transfer station (you know, the dump!) and returned our recyclables. The kids really enjoyed helping out with this and were fascinated by the compactor and giant bales of compacted paper and plastic. To top it all off, we saw a garbage truck pull in and empty all its contents into the hopper. This was quite a big deal to my three young students! I just love how it's the little things that make such a BIG impression.
