Making Paper!

We have been talking about the environment and how we can help take care of the planet.  We learned that trees are cut down to make paper and other things like furniture.  We also learned that some paper is made from old paper. We decided to try and make our own paper out of old shredded paper.  We used a blender and water to mash up the paper and make pulp.  The pulp was then spread on a screen to form paper.  We had to let it dry overnight.
