Description

The students at Hall School organize a school cleanup and recycling project. They use graphs to track and display how much trash they collect and how much money they earn from recycling. The book demonstrates how graphs can be used to plan and document a community improvement project.

Quick Summary

Kids become data detectives at Hall School, turning trash into treasure by using graphs to track exactly how much garbage they collected and how their recycling efforts earned real money for their school. The book shows how counting and charting can feel like a superpower when you see your hard work transform into results your whole school can celebrate. If your kid likes the math adventures in "The Grapes of Math" or enjoys stories where kids make a real difference in their community, they'll want to pick this up. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders who are starting to learn about charts and graphs or anyone who loves seeing numbers tell a story.
