One of the ways we can take care of our community is to recycle. Recycling is a way to reuse things instead of throwing them in the garbage to get taken to a landfill. At the recycling center, they recycle things that are the same. For example, they take glass bottles, break them down and process them to make new glass bottles. Another way to recycle is to reuse things in a new way.
Students make puppets.
Give each student a sock. Have students put the socks on their hands, with their thumbs in the heels and their other fingers in the toes. Show them how to push in the fabric between the heel and toe areas to form a mouth. Have students glue buttons on for eyes. Students may also cut fabric for ears and tongues and glue that to the puppets.
