The students are learning how items can be recycled and through the process, how fewer trees will need to be cut. During the classes, the students made paper. They then modeled the recycling process by turning old newspapers, used construction paper and used roll paper back into pulp. Then using a wood frame, they formed it into a rectangular shape, pressed it to remove the water and let it dry. Once the handmade paper is dry they will write poetry or notes on it as a Mother’s Day gift.
