Trash Audit
05/30/14 Muir Elementary
So... our data from our trash audit was interesting. The first week we had a total of 2 lbs of trash and 6/10 lbs of recycling. This week we had 2 2/10 lbs of trash and 1/10 lbs of recycling. This was a good lesson about data: we need a larger sample.

Pledge Heart
02/05/14 Muir Elementary
Our REACH teacher had each student in grades 2-5 take the Pledge online. They wrote their promises on small, red slips of paper. Our power patrol put the pledges together in the shape of three giant hearts in our hallways. See our pictures for more info. The hearts are adorable and just in time for Valentine’s Day!
