During our school's "20 Minute Makeover," the students picked up a lot of garbage in the Kindergarten Playpen. We put some of the garbage that we found into a bottle with some clean water. We wanted to see what would happen to the water. After a week, the students noticed that the water had gotten very dirty. The students made a connection with the bottled water to our oceans!
"Thousands and thousands of garbage get into the ocean. If you throw stuff away outside, when the hard wind blows, the garbage goes into the ocean." - Bianca
"If someone throws away a plastic bag, it may end up in the ocean and the sea turtles may eat it and they can't move or eat and they will die." - Sophia
"If fish eat garbage, they may get really sick and they may die." - Jack
"The ocean is very dirty because people throw garbage in the ocean and people don't really care. They're not taking care of the Earth." - Bailey
"If sharks eat a glove, they may think it's a fish and they may die." - Charlie
"If we pick up all the garbage then there's no garbage in the ocean and then the animals won't die and then the animals will make babies again." - Florence
