♻️ Turning Trash Into Treasure: One Plastic Bag

This week in reading, Mrs. Washburn's class read One Plastic Bag by Miranda Paul, the inspiring true story of Isatou Ceesay and how she helped make a positive change in her community.

As we read, students practiced important comprehension skills by asking and answering questions about the text, identifying key details, and determining the author’s purpose. We discussed why the author chose to tell Isatou’s story and what we can learn from her about being a good citizen and taking care of our environment.
To bring the story to life, we ended our lesson with a hands-on activity! ♻️

Students reused plastic trash bags to create bracelets, just as Isatou found a creative way to give discarded plastic a new purpose. Their bracelets served as a fun reminder that something we might normally throw away can sometimes be reused, recycled, and turned into something new.

We loved seeing our students connect what they read to the real world—and turn a reading lesson into a lesson about creativity, responsibility, and making a difference! 💚🌎♻️
