O.S.S. Solid Waste District Classroom Presentations.
Please see below for information regarding classroom presentations. If you decide to do one, please let me know. I'd like to stop by if I can.
It is time again for 2017-2018 classroom presentations offered by the O.S.S. Solid Waste District, Seneca County Education Office to students in grades K-5. I also included: Pre- Kindergarten, if they would like to do some fun learning about the earth, and the Sixth Grade Bird-Seed Mining which is offered county-wide, which teaches about the importance of the earth. I am requesting permission to come into your school district this year for the presentations. Enclosed is a short synopsis of the presentations at each class level.
Pre- Kindergarten- Introduction of the importance of the earth and recycling.
(This program only lasts 20 mins)
Kindergarten- Litter Prevention (this program lasts about 45 mins)
1st grade- Introduction to the 3R’s/ Trash Bingo – 55 mins
2nd grade- Landfills (60 mins)
3rd grade- Green Shopping (55mins)
4th grade- Impact of Recycling on Society/ Showed Sherlock (60 mins)
5th grade- Recycling Review/ Natural Resources (55mi
6th grade- Birdseed Mining
In order to allow for scheduling all schools within Seneca County, I have blocked off a specific month to visit your school. I will be sending the secretary a listing of the programs and the registration forms at least 2 weeks prior to coming. The teachers should have enough time to fill out the registration sheets. Once I receive it back, I will send a confirmation email to each teacher.
If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 419-443-7922 or email: mperry@recycleoss.org.
I am looking forward to visiting your school!
Sincerely,
Monica Perry

"Beginning with the End in Mind" -
From The Leader in Me book study, we felt it was important to implement the "7 Minutes for 7 Habits". This is referenced on p. 219. I'd like to tweak it a little. In September, Liz Baugher will give an overview.

December - Habit 3 "Put First Things First"
January - Habit 4 "Think Win-Win"
February - Habit 5 "Seek First to Understand then to be Understood"
March - Habit 6 "Syngize"
April - Habit 7 - "Sharpen the Saw"
I'm looking for
- What does this look like and sound like for you in life and what does it look like in the classroom?
- How can our school better apply this principle?
The Leader in Me - Follow-up info
Didn't have the opportunity to join us for the "Leader in Me" book study?? Please see Dr, Kerekes for the book study - for round 2.
