Earth Day

Even though Earth Day was on Wednesday April 22nd, our class celebrated with activities all week long. Everyone was encouraged to bring paper from home to recycle at school. First, on Monday we went outside and picked up trash around the parking lots at school. We were pleased to find so little trash. Next, Mrs. Carpenter asked us to all wear green on Wednesday. Later that day we watched the Green Team plant a tree and release a giant earth balloon. Then, on Thursday, Mrs. Braymer read The Lorax by Dr. Suess. This book taught us about pollution and the horrible things it can do to the environment. Finally, we worked on an Earth Day packet that had activities in it. 

These are some of the things we learned this week during Earth Day.

1. What it means to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

2. How to avoid polluting 

3. How to dispose of trash properly

GO GREEN!
