Less Is More...for Our Environment!

Help me give my students environmentally friendly materials we need to start our year off GREAT! We are looking to use safe items. For example, laminating papers will help us photocopy less and use wipable markers. Thank you!

My Project

Thank you for helping us! We are excited to incorporate environmentally friendly materials into our classroom next year. Using less paper means less photocopying and less waste.

Laminating many of our materials ensures we can reuse them, we store small pieces in our Ziploc baggies, and use wipe-off markers, so materials are durable for the year.

We will have sharpened pencils, sturdy folders, and safe cleaning wipes to help us through our year.

Teaching our children about using less and taking care of materials is really important at the elementary level. These will be skills the children will carry home with them and, hopefully, will continue.

We thank you, again, for wanting to help us. We love telling our children that people do kind things just to make others feel good. You are doing that!
