1) What aspects of the resources did you find helpful in planning your learning center? (100+ words):

The articles reinforced my use of learning centers/work stations and reminded me of why they are important to use.  Students should be given appropriate work that matches the standards that are being taught. In my opinion, students should have a choice during centers.  The articles mentioned having a rotation where students spend a certain amount of time at each activity.  In my experience, I don’t do this very well because sometimes my whole group lessons run longer or shorter than expected for one.  Another reason this doesn’t work for me is because some days we have speakers/assemblies/field trips etc.  I prefer to tell the students their learning center activities at the beginning of the week or unit.  The students then can choose what they work on independently as they progress through the mastery of the standard.  Students are able to work on activities at their own pace and have some choice as to their preferred activities.  Students are often able to use a group or buddy to complete some of the tasks.

Create survey questions to ask your peers regarding how much plastic they used in their lunch/at home/during their school day.  Things to consider are what items in their lunch are made of single use plastic, think about their day and what items they use that are made of plastic and how long do they last, what items are being thrown away at home.
These questions can be turned into a graph to record a sample of students' plastic use.
You may post results in Padlet when complete, this can be a graph created in Google Draw, Bar Graph using Docs, picture of a graph drawing, etc.
