Republishing this post to get new readers to our 6th grade blog.

Here’s what one 6th grader has to say about trash:

Her thoughts are typical and they make sense. Yet how many people still toss trash out their car windows or decide to drop their trash on the ground instead of holding it until they are near a garbage can? And how many of you pick up trash you see laying around?

This is the sixth post in a series that I’m sharing. My 6th graders had the idea to start this blog and I’m sharing in the hopes that they can see their ideas spread. I hope that my small town students can find their voice in this huge world. Social media has the power to do that.

I teach 5th and 6th grade STEM in the lovely Pacific Northwest in a small, rural town called Chimacum. My goal is to help students discover that all learning is life-long and that 21st century tools can be used for work as well as fun.
