Here are some of the things that can be collected in your home. Ignore the weekly challenges, as this was from 2014, but see the photos for ideas. We would love you to hold on to anything small, toilet rolls, tissue boxes, cardboard food packaging, anything cylinder shaped, anything super large, or unusually shaped…we once had a GIANT BOX that had contained a grand piano. True Story!
1. Challenge of the week September 1st-September 5th is toilet rolls. We want students to bring in EMPTY toilet paper rolls; so when you finish using a roll of toilet paper at home, instead of throwing it out, please bring it in to school and drop it off in the classroom basket outside the ES library. The class that has the most toilet paper rolls by Friday, is the winner of this week’s challenge, and each child will win an ice cream.
2. Challenge of the week September 8th-September 12th is toothpaste boxes and granola boxes. We want students to bring in EMPTY granola and toothpaste boxes; so when you finish using these at home, instead of throwing them out, please bring them in to school and drop them off in the classroom basket outside the ES library. The class that has the most of these items by Friday, is the winner of that week’s challenge, and each child will win a free book from the library to keep.
3. Challenge of the week September 15th-September 19th is cereal boxes and shoe boxes. We want students to bring in EMPTY shoe and cereal boxes; so if you have any of these at home, instead of throwing them out, please bring them in to school and drop them off in the classroom basket outside the ES library. The class that has the most of these items by Friday, is the winner of that week’s challenge, and their class will win a pizza party.
During the week of September 22nd-26th, we are asking you to send in EVERY CARDBOARD ITEM you can get your hands on. Please save as many things as you can over the next four weeks, and bring them in to class during that final week leading to October Break.
