” I reuse by using a plastic container for lunch and a metal bottle” writes and illustrates Amanda Koffler.
We Future Cycle recently did a refresher class in all classrooms of New Rochelle Davis Elementary School. Students learned more about how bad garbage was for the environment, and that there is no “away” on this Earth.
Ms Curry’s First Grade class was all fired up and decided to write a book on how they will make a difference and help this Earth.

I was very impressed. Jefferson Rabanales wrote a “How to” story on sorting. He titled it “How to recycle” and outlined clearly the steps.
- First you eat your snack or your lunch
- you find the correct bin
- now you put the stuff in the correct bin
Nadia Morales very nicely color coded her picture and summarized : “I help the Earth because I recycling”
Abigayle Mills outlines that she helps the Earth by always bringing reusable water bottles.
Nalani Canales re-purposes materials to make new things out of it. “I help the Earth because I reuse a shoebox to make a mailbox”
Juliana Rubino has the right idea. “I clean up the Earth because I clean up the Earth every day”
Every single one of Ms Curry’s students pledged to help the Earth. Way to go!
