The 1st and 2nd graders at our school put on a music program called Save the Earth to teach our parents why recycling is important and how we can do it. Everything for the show was made out of recycled, returnable, or repurposed things. It was fun to find different things we could use to make our instruments really COOL! We even put an old plastic Easter egg inside one of the paper towel rolls with stuff inside it for a surprise rattle. We worked hard and were very creative. Then we played our instruments in the Recycled Band during the Recycle Rap. Everyone loved our instruments!!! We are helping everyone at KL recycle, repurpose, and rethink their trash.
