Too Good to Throw Away!

Grades: 1st - 2nd & 3rd - 5th

Welcome to Too Good to Throw Away!, a three-part recycling education program designed for 1st-5th grade students to learn about and practice the 3Rs: reduce, reuse, and recycle – and have FUN in the process. The program, which is customized for grades 1-2 and grades 3-5, includes a pre-visit lesson including a video, an interactive one-hour class presentation, and a post-visit lesson, providing practical knowledge and skills that will help students make intelligent decisions now and in the future. Each 1st and 2nd grader receives a pencil made from recycled plastic, and 3rd-5th graders receive an in-depth Too Good to Throw Away! Learning Guide filled with exciting activities and video links to reinforce newly acquired learning. The presentation and related activities are aligned with ADE standards. Too Good to Throw Away! is sponsored by City of Tucson Environmental Services and offered free of charge to schools located within Tucson city limits.
