MARCH EVENT : Before starting our project, I helped the children have preliminary information about global warming and recycling by reading the book "The world has fire". I introduced our recycling toy to the class and explained how it is used to the children. We brainstormed about "what is recycling".Then I asked the parents for a yoghurt bucket, and the children sent them with the children and they decorated them with the leftover materials we used in the classroom. Some of them were painted and decorated with finger paint.It enabled the development of children's small psychomotor skills. They enjoyed this activity very much and the transformation of the yoghurt bucket made them very happy.After our buckets dried, I brought the flowers I bought from the florist to school the next day and we went out to the garden with the children, poured the soil and planted the flowers. The children were very happy while playing with the soil. Turning the pots they made into real pots and planting flowers gave them great happiness and success.
