Reduce, reuse, and recycle!  Mrs. Laura McCarthy and Miss Amy Williams’ challenged their second grade students this past month to create robots out of recycled materials.  “In science class, we have been learning about the importance of protecting the earth’s habitats and conservation is one important way to do that,” said Miss Williams.

Each robot includes at least three different types of recycled items and is colorfully decorated with paint or markers. The students were so excited when they brought in their projects last Thursday and gave oral presentations to their classmates.  “This project winds up being the favorite of the year. It’s a time of applying a concept that has been learned while having some creative fun!” Mrs. McCarthy added.
