A2: The only recycling we’ve done in the last couple of years is collecting Mardi Gras beads and giving them to an organization that has special needs adults clean and bundles them into dozens for resale. #4thchat
A2: We do recycle at our schools - paper. 5th grade students go and collect recycles diff times during the week. The schools do have these really cool water bubblers where you can refill your water bottles. It tells you how many bottles you have saved. #4thchat

Hello, Rylee! You have come to the right chat! This #4thchat is full of friendly folks. So glad you could join us. Just include #4thchat every time you tweet!
Welcome! Make sure you put #4thchat in tweet so we all can see it. Q1 is question 1, A1 is answer 2. It all overlaps into a lovely twitter mess. Like sharing ideas at a lively PLC meeting where several people are talking at once.

Wow - would love to learn how the Capri Sun & Lunchable container recycling program got started. Lot of waste with those juice type containers. #4thchat
It is medium sized. I don't know the dimensions but we keep it outside so that limits our use ... we are growing flowers, popcorn seeds, and cucumbers right now. Going to try strawberries and tomatoes too! #4thChat
A1: 4th graders love to learn. A2: University of Michigan, A3: There is no recipe to be a great teacher, that's what is unique about them. Robert Sternberg, and, be this teacher: I'm lucky I had some teachers who saw something in me. Ann Bancroft #4thchat
I can see @Flipgrid#gridpals working well for this. We just started our #grid pals and it's been great. So far it's been exchanging clues of our locations (3 classes are matched). Next we have exchanged what we are learning. I think we could work in Earth Day #4thchat
A9: We like to connect and talk about Earth Day on @Flipgrid ... anyone interested in connecting this way this week? Just have your kiddos post why Earth Day is important? #4thCHat
Great ideas! Maybe classes could connect to share their temps. I love starting our #4thchat by sharing the weather of the day! Love learning about what's happening in other parts of USA & abroad!
I just created a grid and shared the link! Anyone can access it and add to it! That's how I share grids with my ss too.. just sharing the link with them or the Grid code. You can have your ss just go to https://t.co/8zYi5j5Kot and type in the grid code: 94888d :) #4thChat
A9: Make plans to connect with another class via GHO and then share what your students write, design, create etc during the hangout. Informal and easy. #4thchat
