Today we talked about Earth Day at our morning meeting. We talked about how we need to take care of Earth and keep it clean. We decided we could celebrate Earth Day by picking up stuff in the forest that others left behind. We brought our trash bag and headed to the forest. When we got there we saw a newly planted tree that another Ambrose Classroom had planted. Then we went in the forest to see what we could find. Our forest friend asked why we were picking up stuff and putting it in the bag. Students said it was for Earth Day. Then they explained why Earth Day was important to celebrate. We found a few items that we put in our trash bag. We searched the forest as we ran along the paths and climbed our favorite logs. We will continue talking about Earth Day this week When we got back to the classroom we explored lights and shadows with an overhead projector. Ask your child about Earth Day this week.
