For our third official Guest Wednesday of the summer, we welcomed Christa and Catherine from Teck Cominco! They came into the library to teach us all about recycling!
Of course, we also had a few early birds to the show, so I snagged a few pictures of them reading away, while waiting patiently for 2:30 to come around!
Catherine and Christa came into the library and talked to the kids about the importance of recycling and what we are able to recycle in our area.
We then played a game where the kids were able to put what they learnt to the test. Christa and Catherine brought in some examples of recyclables and non-recyclable products and garbage, the kids then had to sort out the goods into the right bins. The bins were labeled, "garbage", "metal", etc.
After that Catherine and Christa brought out another game! This one was a sort of matching game of sorts, where the kids had to organize some words/pictures into three categories, "metal" "product" and "uses" and for each metal the kids had to organize what product could be made from it, and what uses the product has.
After all that, Catherine and Christa brought in some awesome activity sheets themed around recycling! The kids had a go trying to find their way out of a maze and then had a big challenge with a metal themed word search (seriously, it was very difficult! [but very fun!!])
We all had a great time, I would like to again thank Catherine and Teck Cominco for participating again in our Summer Reading Club! And thank you to Christa for joining us this year!!! Thanks!
