After watching Joe Smith's TED talk on how to use a paper towel, the Diamond Fireballs were inspired to try to make a small difference on paper towel use at ISM... They asked 50 Grade Two students: HOW MANY PAPER TOWELS DO YOU USE AFTER EACH WASH? They discovered that of the 50 students that they surveyed, 21 used more than 1 paper towel for each wash. They decided to go from classroom to classroom to try to convince all grade two students to SHAKE & FOLD to reduce paper towel use. After a few days, they collected data a second time to see if their efforts had any impact in Grade Two. They again asked 50 Grade Two students: HOW MANY PAPER TOWELS DO YOU USE AFTER EACH WASH? Results showed that of the 50 students that they surveyed, only 10 used more than 1 paper towel for each wash. The number was reduced by more than half... It was a proud moment for the Diamond Fireballs!!!
With the success in Grade Two, the class then ventured to make an impact throughout ES by presenting their PAPER TOWEL PROJECT during the 4th quarter assembly.
