Recycling Competition Reading Comprehension
📖 Reading Passage
The Great Green Challenge
Lincoln Middle School had a big problem. The cafeteria was throwing away hundreds of plastic bottles and cans every day. Mrs. Garcia, the science teacher, decided to start a recycling competition between the sixth-grade classes.
"We need to turn over a new leaf," Mrs. Garcia announced to her students. She explained that each class would collect recyclable items for two weeks. The winning class would earn a pizza party.
At first, students forgot to bring items from home. The recycling bins stayed nearly empty. Then, Jake from Class 6A had a bright idea. He asked the cafeteria workers to save all the bottles and cans from lunch. Soon, other classes copied this smart solution.
After two weeks, the results were amazing! Class 6B collected 847 items and won first place. Because of this competition, the school now recycles over 2,000 items each month. The students learned that small changes can make a big difference for our planet.
