Making Decisions

Dear Parents,

This week we are working on making decisions. Learning about making decisions is part of our science TEKS. Your child should know that information and critical thinking are used in decisions. The students are expected to make decisions using information.

Our class is going to work on our decision making skills by learning about recycling. At the Meet the Greens website you can watch a video about recycling. There are several videos at this site. The Reuse Episode can give your child ideas on what they can do with their coke cans instead of throwing them away. You can also enjoy some of the other activities at this site.

At the next exciting site your child can read a book and use their sorting skills to decide which item goes in what barrel. In the activity your child can see as they pick up the trash the animals come back around. Also if your child gets stuck on a word as they read they can click on that word and they will hear how to say it. I hope this site will help your child make the decision to not be a litter bug.

This last website is a litter hunt. It may be a little tough for your child so you may need to help them. They will find the trash hidden in the picture. After they find each piece of trash you can find out what trash can be recycled and what can not. Have fun with this one!!

Have a great day!

Mrs. Noble
