The Paper Project: Week 14
Letters written in the voice of sailors from centuries past. Ten flashcards with facts and illustrations about the moon. Order forms to purchase gift cards as a PTA fundraiser. A food pantry solicitation flyer and a paper where my third grader wrote about the experiences of the Pilgrims, as well as a paper of “Pilgrim comics” and school lunch menus.
All of those, plus many other papers, were brought home from school during the past week by my three kiddos. The number of pieces of dead trees (including those moon flashcards) brought home in the past week was 53.
That brings the grand total of the pieces of paper sent home since the first day of school to: 804.
