AES GATE 4th graders created a "Survey Monkey" survey for any AES student to take. The questions were generated by the students and answered by the students. Please see our results below in a story of pictures.
Isn't it interesting that KIDS said the most probable reason other kids are wasting milk is because they are PLAYING at lunch!?
Our students calculated the cost of buying milk in plastic bottles rather than cartons. It's only 5 cents more per bottle. Does that REALLY add up? We were amazed! Our estimate for substituting plastic bottles instead of cartons for breakfast and lunch each day would result in approximately spending $93,600 more each year for Albertville City Schools' students! WOW! In our survey, we found that more students said it really didn't matter to them if they had a bottle or carton. Good to know! That shows us there is no real need to spend that extra money on bottles.
Our students DID say they would rather have a straw with their milk. We wonder how much THAT would cost? Would it be worth it? Stay tuned...we will do some more calculations and update again.
Some of our students created short puppet shows that were videoed on the iPads while others used the app "Puppet Pals" to create a show sharing with viewers why they should drink milk.
3rd grade GATE students are busy creating sets, scripts, and movies to encourage other kids to consider drinking their milk instead of wasting it!
We just might have a few more surprises in store before our Milk Mystery is solved! Check back often to see if we have learned anything new that would help kids get healthy, cause our trash to weigh less, and know that we are making a difference at AES!
