“What can I do as a 4th
grader to impact the world?”
This project is called passion project, caring for land and underwater
habitat. Therefore, 4th graders go out once in a month to the river or
the station area in order to care for the habitat. They do this by picking
up the scatttered trash on the path and cleaning the roads. Although
the 4th graders did not have the opportunity to play at the park, but
they were proud since they made a difference. Also, they check if the
classroom lights are on and electricity is not wasted. Through this proj-
ect, they are able to learn about how taking responsibilility affects the
world positively.
