The 5th graders’ competition for best poster on the topic: “Sensible ways to recycle trash” was proposed by ILS Student Council member Arina Ostrovskaya, a 10th grader in section 10A, who is responsible for environmental issues.
“Our school devotes a lot of attention to environmental literacy, and we decided to remind our 5th graders that we are all responsible for the air we breathe and the land we walk on,” says Arina. “I prepared a presentation for the students on how long it takes trash to decompose and how various kinds of trash should be sorted into different receptacles.”
The students were given two weeks to create their posters, which were then judged by three members of the Student Council.
“The assessment criteria were information content, originality, and accuracy,” explains Council president Anfisa Bogdanenko. “We were very pleased that 4th graders also participated in the competition. Each class showed great creativity and came up with something special.”
