Brainstorming with 4th Grade Green Team

Generating ideas and posting them on the wall.
"Plants and Trees"
Very Organized!
During our first green team meeting of the year, fourth grade students brainstormed ideas for projects to work on this year. They wrote one idea they wanted to work on or learn about on a sticky note and put it up on the cafeteria walls. They then had to collaboratively sort their ideas into similar topics. 

They had ideas ranging from planting trees, to learning about snakes and butterflies, to saving energy and cleaning up the schoolyard. 






 
The most popular topic was plants and trees, followed by learning about animals/wildlife, and then litter cleanups, recycling and composting. 

It was fun to watch them work out how and why certain topics should go together. And it was inspiring to see the range of things they are interested in and care about already!


"Help Animals"
"Save the World" and "Have Fun"

Talking through how to categorize their ideas.
