As the first day of school draws near, my mind is occupied with thoughts about my new classroom. Our topic for investigation this fall is recycling, and I am thankful to my niece, Madeleine for getting the ball rolling by dictating this story for me and my students. I hope that this inspires many “recycling stories”. On a side note, I think The Little Prince would love Madeleine’s self-introduction. No boring numbers needed (age, grade, address), but she gives us a great picture of who she is.
