Earth Day!

Happy Earth Day!

Students are getting many opportunities to learn how we can take care of our environment. Earth Day is a great reminder on how we can help protect our environment not just today - but everyday!

As a class, we read the story The Lorax. I have attached a link if you would like to read it again. We stopped to think about what changes were happening and why trees are so important to our environment. Students talked about how they must do their part to clean up and to protect the trees. Trees are important to help us breath. They give us food and shelter for many animals. They also protect us from pollution and smog. The Lorax is a nice reminder on how we can do our part to take care of this place. 

We are working on Earth Day pledges...a pledge is like a promise. We are working on what we can do and what we will not do! We must do our part to protect the earth!

We also got to view an amazing performance by members from the Junkyard Symphony. They put on a great show. They taught us about using recyclable materials in many ways. All of their instruments and tools from the show were made from recyclable materials they buy at garage sales. They also talked about what we can do to recycle including how to compost. We loved learning about how to reduce-reuse-recycle and ROCK! A huge thank you to Mr. Bob for organizing it!
