Our first inspection had some glitches, but we still were able to inspect a lot of rooms.  The results?  Mixed! Only a few teachers received their Happy Earths, but remember that it will take a while to get old habits broken.

Teachers have received the trashcan contest information and should be telling their students about it.  We need to get ready for our first inspection!  Each club member will receive 3 or 4 classrooms to inspect.  Be sure to stop by my room and pick up your list of rooms and your hall pass.  Then wait until I tell you the day and time to conduct your inspections.  We all have to inspect the rooms on the same day at the same time!
 
Thanks!

We prepared materials for our contest, designated a member to update the website, and created a bulletin board in Mrs. Mako's room.  Please remember to check in on this page every Thursday that we don't have a meeting.   New tasks will always be listed at the top of the page.

10/8
The first meeting of our club.
 
1.  We brainstormed environmental issues at MVMS.
2.  We learned about the Green School Certification Program.
3.  We decided to start a competition among teachers to keep paper out of the trashcans.
 
Paper Isn't Trash!
 
goal:  to stop students (and teachers) from throwing paper into the trashcan
 
steps:
  1. send an "invitation" to all teachers to join the competition
  2. conduct surprise inspections of trashcans
  3. teachers whose trashcans do not have recyclable paper will receive a "happy earth" print-out
  4. recognition for:
    1. teachers with the most "happy earths"
    2. teams of teachers with the most "happy earths"
    3. winners of secret "head to head" competitions between teachers
materials:
  1. the invitation
  2. "happy earth" print-outs
  3. "rewards" for competitions
