Challenge is on for Mrs. Barker's class!!
Image result for litterless lunch

We are having a litterless lunch challenge in our classroom.  There is so much garbage on the playground and in the garbage cans after lunch (or on the classroom floor..eek).  So we have decided to do our part for the world and try to have a litter free lunch.

Kids are trying to bring in a litterless lunches and snacks to school.  Please have them help you with packing their lunch so that they can make it garbage free.  Make your child responsible for deciding how they will make their lunch litter free.

This is an optional challenge but I will be tracking those who participate for a special reward for their efforts.  :)
