Happy Earth Day and other Important Tidbits

Happy Earth Day! We read THE LORAX today in honor of Earth Day. Students had a lot of good ideas about ways to protect the air, water, plants, and animals on our planet. We talked about Reducing-Reusing- Recycling- and Refusing (that’s a new one!). We even discussed composting and worms! Ask your child how they can help take care of God’s creation.

Tomorrow, they will get coloring sheets and a bookmark to reinforce what we learned.

On Tuesday, students learned the steps involved in making a t-shirt, from growing the cotton to packing the shirts and delivering them to stores. They worked in groups to write out these steps and illustrate them. Then they each created their own t-shirt design. These are displayed on a “clothesline” in the hallway. I think they look awesome!
