Earth Day, Everyday!

We've had a Fantastic time this month learning how to BE GREEN! My little Firsties are much more aware of the problems Planet Earth faces on a daily basis. After reading many books on Environmental Issues, Literature Selections like The Great Kapok Tree and The Lorax of course, The students began making connections that affect our world. They made Environmental Art with reusable products, created Earth Day Posters and made Flip books reflecting the Interdependence of animals and plants in the Rain Forest. We also invited our parents to share a Trash Free Picnic with us using only recycled containers, cloth napkins and silverware. Some parents stayed to help the kids create Heart Shaped Earth using recycled blue and green crayons and Bird Feeders.
