Family Letter

Dear Families,
Today our class read the story, The Wartville Wizard, by Don Madden.  The townspeople in the story learn an important lesson about caring for their town.  Ask your child about how the old man was given “the power over trash” and what that meant for the townspeople. 

Please help extend our classroom learning by participating in a family homework project with your child.  I am asking each student to take a short walk through their yards or neighborhoods and collect any trash found along the way.  You may want to have your child wear work gloves for sanitary reasons.  Once the trash has been collected, please help your child create a display of the collection.  This can be done by gluing items to a poster board, decorating a shoebox for the collection, or another original idea of your choice.  Please do not include items that would not be appropriate for student discussion.  Thanks for your participation.

Trash collections should be sent to school by: ___________________________

Sincerely,
