Collection Time
We will watch Magic School Bus Holiday Special
RecyclingIt's the last day of school before the
winter holidays and Wanda plans to see the
Nutcracker ballet. But during a trip to a
recycling plant that belongs to Murph (Dolly
Parton), the toy soldier she needs to get into
the theater accidentally gets recycled!
Devastated, Wanda wishes for a world without
recycling. Ms. Frizzle activates the bus's
un-recycler, taking the class and Murph on a
song-filled field trip. The importance of
recycling hits home when the bus's magic
unrecycles everything in Walkerville including
the bus itself, as it too was made from recycled
objects! Will the kids find a way to reconstruct
the bus in time for Wanda to get back to see the
Nutcracker?
Now that we understand what materials or products
can be recycled, it is up to you to bring in
these items (cans, bottles, newspaper) over the
next week.

Invention Extension

• Your job as an inventor is to reuse some of the
  empty containers or paper products from your home
  to create a useful item for you, someone in your
  home, or a pet to use, (example paper towel roll
  gerbil run).
• Next, decorate it.
• Finally, bring it to school to share and write me
  a story about how to created your invention. You
  may use the chart on the next slide to help you
  organize your story.
