Here are a few tips to make the Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program® more fun, more interactive and more successful for your classroom and your school:
|
 |
|
Feel free to let other teachers know that they can include their glue bottles and glue sticks in your collection.
|
 |
 |
|
Use the projects we've provided under the Classroom Resources page to help teach your students about recycling.
|
 |
|
Have a contest to see who can collect the most empty Elmer's glue bottles and glue sticks from other students in the building or bring the most from home.
|
 |
|
Coordinate a field trip to a local recycling facility to learn about the process of recycling.
|
 |
|
Teach your students ways to be "earth friendly" – riding their bikes, recycling at home, ask parents to use paper instead of plastic at the grocery store or using leftover products for other things (pop bottle bottoms for planters).
|
 |
|
Assign a new "Recycling Coordinator" each month to help you prepare/lead the class project, wash out bottles and sticks and make a tally of how many they have recycled so far. |
