**Time Required:** 45 minutes


 * Required Materials:** <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">Scissors, recyclable materials, bins, glue, tape, paint, markers and crayons

1. Students will be on the carpet in a circle. We will discuss the term "litter bug." **<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;"> Students may or may not know this, so explain it as a phrase people use for those who leave garbage around and don't put it in recycling or garbage. Show students sample recycle bugs. Tell students that we learned so many ways to be good citizens that we are going to pretend we are recycle bugs. We will be making creatures (bugs) out of recyclable materials. Ask them to guess what materials were used for the sample bugs. Read them the tag that lists all the materials used.
 * Procedure:

2. Tell students that in the middle of their set, there are a bunch of materials in a bin. All of these materials are recyclable. Stress that students must share these materials among their group. Students will choose materials to make a small creature. Scissors and glue will also be on the set. IMPORTANT-ASK A TEACHER TO HELP BEFORE CUTTING ANYTHING BESIDES PAPER. They may use the provided markers and crayons to color or paint. See teacher for eyes to glue on. Students also need to write on the provided paper tags all the materials they used. Tie them to the bug with plastic bag pieces. Review these rules before sending students back.

3. Students will be at their desks working on the bugs. Walk around with a sharpie and write their names on the bug. Clap a pattern to get the students' attention to stop where they are and clean up all materials.
 * Closure: <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">After cleaning up materials, students will allow their bugs to dry. Each student will share their bug at morning meeting the following day. **


 * Assessment Based On Objectives: Students were able to complete their projects on time. It served as a culminating activity for our recycling unit. ** || ||
