Dear Families:

In our class, we are learning about ways we can care for our environment through a unit called, "The Four R’s:  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, RESPECT!"  During the next week we will be learning about these “R” terms and what they mean.  More importantly, we will be coming up with ideas of things we can do to help our Earth and cut down on trash.

Here is where we need your help…for the next three evenings, you will be asked to have a discussion with your child about that day’s “R” word.  Together you will come up with some ideas of things that you can do at home pertaining to that term (i.e. for “reduce” you might say “I will reduce trash by taking my own bags to the grocery store”). You and your child will keep track of your ideas on this sheet and bring it back to school each day so your child can discuss your ideas with the class.
 
Thanks, in advance, for your help and support!

Sincerely
