Earth Week recap

This week we did many activities to help the kids understand the importance of taking care of the earth!  They had a lot of fun doing it.

Monday: We worked with the second graders and made planet pals.  They turned out really cute!
Each pal holds a heart explaining what each student will do to help be a friend to the earth.

Tuesday: We watched a video about earth day.

Wednesday: We cleaned our school!  Lockers, desks, and binders were cleaned out and papers were recycled.  We watched a short video clip about recycling cans.

Thursday: We walked the trail north of the school picking up trash we found along the way.  Some of the students were convinced we found treasures instead of trash.  I'm hearing rumors that some of the "treasures" made their way home in the pockets of our kids. YUCK!

Friday: We made a poster to celebrate Earth Day. They are hanging around the school now, but will eventually make their way uptown to the local businesses.
