Ezard Elementary - 6th grade Trash Art {Conway Missouri}

Ezard Elementary School in Conway Missouri - The 6th grade class has been learning about "going green."

They've talked about the environment, recycling and using items in unusual ways.

Their latest assignment? Trash Art.

• Use at least four items/things from around the home that otherwise would be thrown away.
• Think "outside the box"
• Try to avoid paint.

This morning, boxes, tin foil, tooth picks, soup cans and straws invaded the upper hall. The creativity of the class was impressive!

How can you re-use items that would other wise end up in the trash bin?

My daughter, Ashley, used a variety of items in her "Old McDonald's Farm" including: toothpicks, a cracker box, straws, a paper bag, wrapping paper, a potato chip container, a cup and, to hold the fence up - her used bubble gum!

Chelsey used a Sunny D bottle to make her Christmas Tree!

Karissa used bottle lids, a toilet paper roll and a make up case in her master piece.

Josie used pencils, soup cans and a cereal box.

More Trash to Treasure!
