National Recycling Day – November 15th is National Recycling Day.  We would like to raise awareness for recycling and try to raise some more money for our butterfly way station.  If you would be able to help volunteer to run our table for an hour that afternoon please sign up with the link below.  If I don’t get enough volunteers we will cancel this event.  Please click here to volunteer to help run the table  for 1 hour with a partner on November 15.

Garden Planning – Today at Green Team we started planning our Butterfly Garden (Way Station for the Monarch Butterflies) that we hope to build in the spring.  Students research flowers that Monarchs like.  There is an assignment on Google Classroom for the students to finish researching we need to:

Find the best butterfly nectar plants to plant in our garden, they need to be good for Zone 5, we need to know when do they bloom, what is their size, cost and how many you will plant. Please draw a picture of your garden, label the names of the plants and where we will have paths and seats. What will you use for seats? How much will the entire garden cost? We want there to be something blooming from April until October. We need 2-4 nectar plants (flowers) for every milkweed we plant.
