Going Green at Grafton Bethel ElementaryPosted on: Friday, March 01, 2013Students in Mrs. Kimes’s class at Grafton Bethel Elementary School researched areas of the school that needed a recycling bin. They placed their hand-decorated "green" recycling box in the office and collected recycled items. A student suggested they graph the items to determine the most used location. Then they moved the box to the cafeteria, collected items and graphed. Their final location was the Teacher's Lounge which became the final resting place for the recycling box as that location (according to their graphs) produced the most amount of recycled items. |
