With class input and teacher coaching, the model students should correctly divide up their lunch remains. Assign any children that demonstrated to work with a classmate. Everyone is then excused to sort their items to the correct bin. Teacher monitors and answers questions. When all have finished sorting, discuss their accuracy.
Children discuss ways they can help modify their lunches.
You make a class poster of the earth with a smile, where children bring lunches with plastic Tupperware and reusable lunch containers. This creates no trash, therefore, Mother Earth smiles. On the same poster, illustrate an earth with a frown where students bring lunches that create a lot of waste with items like Capri Suns and baggies in a disposable lunch sack. They are to choose one idea to commit to making a difference. After they write their sentence, they are to illustrate and color their good deed to take care of our land.
