(A note from your fourth grader:)

Dear Families,

Earth Day is coming up, and each class is going to decorate their door.  Mrs. Cohen organized an Earth Day contest, and the best door will win!  We need your help with the materials.  At least 50% of the materials we put on our door need to be reused or recycled, so we are trying our best to find pieces of recycled materials that we can use.  Here is a list of things we need for our door:

• Two medium bags of potting soil
• Fishing line
• Three rolls of green duct tape
• Three rolls of brown duct tape
• Empty yogurt cups, particularly Chobani-brand cups (Please make sure I wash it before I bring it in.)
• Any small or medium-sized clear or see-through container, even if it is colored.
• Paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls
• Old newspaper (color or black and white)

Please email Mr. Moss before buying the potting soil, fishing line, or duct tape, because we don’t want to have too much.  (It is an Earth Day contest!  We don’t want to waste stuff.)

If I (your son or daughter) find something else that could be useful, maybe you will let me bring it in, as long as I ask for permission first.

After we get the yogurt cups and containers and the potting soil, I will ask you if I can bring in a few weeds from the yard.  Don’t worry if you don’t want me to disturb the lawn; we should have enough if I can’t bring in any.  If you let me pick out weeds, please make sure that I pull them out with the roots still attached and that I pull them out in the morning so that they don’t die before I bring them to school.

We need to have all the materials in by this Thursday, if possible, so that we can plant our weeds on Friday.

Thank you for your support!

🙂
