Tree-O Update 1
Today we have a special guest post from BB&N grade four teacher Jenny Weymouth:
BB&N, Shady Hill, and Park fourth graders have joined together to stop unwanted catalogs from filling up our mailboxes. After hearing about the CCC which started at Park, BB&N teachers contacted Shady Hill and Park to see if we could join together for a good cause. Our three schools started their challenge, now called the “Tree-O Catalog Canceling Challenge” on Tuesday. This first week all three fourth grades have canceled over 460 unwanted catalogs. Each school has a different goal, but together we hope to cancel around 2,000 catalogs.
Already, students and parents are excited about this project. One BB&N parent said, “Our daughter is SO EXCITED about the environmental unit you are working on at school. She comes home everyday talking about what she has learned and is encouraging us to make changes. We love it too! I REALLY love how excited she is to cancel all the catalogs we get.” On the first morning after the challenge began, another student came in to class exclaiming that he had canceled five catalogs on his own and had another twelve to do! The excitement is spreading and together we can make a difference.
