Our Lady of Peace First-Graders Make Paper, Learn About Recycling
First-graders at Our Lady of Peace Catholic School in Darien learn how to make paper
"Hydropulping" and "slurry" aren't words that are part of the average seven-year-old child's vocabulary.
Last week, first-graders at Our Lady of Peace Catholic School in Darien learned about hydropulping, slurries and more as they made recycled paper with educators from SCARCE.
Using paper scraps, water, screening, plastic molds and sponges, students made their own paper that they took home.
