This sorting activity is perfect to include in your science center for Earth Day! It includes 6 picture sorting cards for each of the following categories of recyclable materials: Paper, plastic, metal, and glass.
The activity also includes 3 response sheets. One sheet has students write some of the items they sorted. Another sheet has students cut, glue, and sort pictures of
recyclable materials. The third sheet is a draw-and-write take home sheet. A page of teacher notes regarding recycling is also included. The set also includes the book, “We Can Help Recycle.” Perfect to use on Earth Day, it comes in two different levels to help with differentiation.
