In an effort to have some sustainable Green T, Big T's Green Team is trained and was deployed today to collect all of the school's recycling. Our Green Team is made up of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who will become the experts on recycling and all things 'green' at Big T in order to keep the knowledge in the school.
The idea is to have 10 teams of one 3rd, one 4th, and one 5th grader, with the 5th graders 'captaining' their team (though we expect everyone to be equally competent recyclers by the end of the year!). Next year, the current 3rd and 4th graders will continue on with Green Team as 4th and 5th graders, training the incoming 3rd graders (this year's 2nd graders) to become fulling-functioning Green Team members.
Currently, all ten teams meet during lunch hour on Fridays, each team collecting two bins, with the teams who finish first collecting the remaining two. Once everyone is up to speed on the process, we hope to move to splitting Green Team into two groups and having each half meet every other week, collecting four bins each.
We're looking forward to this learning process and becoming a lean, mean, green machine!
