We studed the American Patriotic Symbols this past week in first grade. We discovered that the original Liberty Bell was recycled when it cracked the first time it was rung. It was too much to send it back to England for repair, so it was melted down here in America and reformed. Because it then sounded strange it was melted down again and reformed to become the bell that we all know. I bring this up because we need to think everyday about how we can work to reduce our waste by recycling and reusing things in stead of throwing them away. CELEBRATE with us National Recycling Day Tuesday, November 15th, by wearing your green. I'll be looking for you.
