Earth Day
This month we are discussing and trying to promote some
earth-friendly habits. To begin our unit on taking care of our
earth we decided to save our trash from snack time for one week. We
were amazed at the amount of trash we collected. There were so many
milk cartons and we wondered how much paper is used to make
them.
We read stories about how we could help take care of our earth. We
learned that even though we are just little children we can do
little things that make a big difference in taking care of this
planet on which we live.
With the help of the second grade students we picked up many bags
of trash on our school grounds. We cleaned up parking lots, the
school yards, and the playground and track area. It was so much fun
and we felt good about doing something special for our community.
What a great earth day project!
This week we will make our earth day promises and stamp our green
hand for a hand-some earth day display. We will enjoy songs and
fingerplays about recycling and will have a special snack of dirt
cake and gummy worms. Yum! Yum!
