One morning at the beginning of the week, while inspecting the school yard, she saw plastic bags of snacks thrown haphazardly under the tree. Although the teachers had reminded them frequently, it was clear that the children's awareness was still limited. Ms. Nhan wondered: Could it be that Just stop at reminding? Or should we sow the seeds of awareness in our children, using a more intimate and effective method? Ms. Nhan has researched environmental education models for preschool children. She decided to choose the kindergarten project "Garbage sorting house" with recycling bins specifically for students.

She realized, this is the job. that Ha Bang Kindergarten is in need of doing. Not only is it a waste management model, but it is also a form of educating students to know protect the environment and help the school integrated charity fundraising

This was highly agreed upon by all the teachers in the professional meeting, as well as exchanging more ideas to implement together.

The special feature of the model is the connection between environmental education and mass mobilization work, creating a friendly educational space, focusing on students, while enhancing the role of parents. and the community in preschool education. It is this sincerity and dedication that has convinced the staff, teachers, and employees of Ha Bang Kindergarten and parents to participate.

Gradually the project "House of waste classification" It is no longer just a school activity, but has become an activity that connects the school - parents - students and society, in the spirit of joining hands to protect the environment: voluntary mobilization, effective coordination, and working towards a common goal. Not only that, the "Waste Classification House" of Ha Bang Kindergarten has gradually become a bright spot in the emulation movement "Skillful mass mobilization associated with environmental protection" in the locality.

After a short time, Ms. Can Thi Nhan noticed obvious changes: children no longer litter, can distinguish between organic and recyclable waste, and children actively pick up trash in the school yard without being reminded. Many parents who previously paid little attention to school activities have now become the most active.
