In the school I work in the teachers have a lot of flexibility when it comes to curriculum. Usually each week a classroom may focus on a particular subject or topic. One week our classroom learned about recycling. I think this picture of a recycling station would be great to show an example of recycling outside of the classroom and school recycling. In addition to showing this picture, one could see if the kids could visit a local recycling station in their area. This would give them a few different ways to learn about recycling in their community as well as in other communities.

Many students are visual learners and benefit from seeing pictures and videos. The internet is a great resource for finding these things, but it is important to teach the correct way to use copyrighted material. Children learn by observing and modeling adults and other individuals. Using and citing online images appropriately is the first step.
