First Grade Trip...to the Middle School!

Members of the first grade took an “on campus” field trip to visit Mrs. Fogarty’s middle school music class to learn about a project she and her students did last year that connected nicely to the first grade's current social studies Sustainability unit.
The students in Mrs. Fogarty’s class collected trash on Akin Common over three days and made a mural out of this to show how much littering was being done. By the end of this project, they had recycling bins placed all over Akin Common and Hackley campus! The mural they created from all the trash became a representation of a clean Earth!

The students in 1D are learning about taking care of the environment, and the 3 R’s — Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!  We're grateful for this cross-divisional learning opportunity, and the lessons passed along by our Middle School friends!
