2nd/3rd Grade Earthship Display

The 2nd/3rd grade split class created their own miniature Earthships that are currently on display on the first floor across from the main office!

Here are some pictures of the current display; students' work that is not on display will be put on display next week.

In short: Students discussed/reflected on Earthships, the idea of upcycling, and recycling. To create their Earthships students used recycled cardboard and assorted found objects to stay true to how actual Earthships are made.

Vocabulary:

Earthship - a unique type of solar house that is made of both natural and recycled materials (such as earth filled tires).

Recycle - to change garbage (waste) into something that can be used again.

Upcycle - to reuse garbage (waste) and make it into something better.
