Happy Earth Day!

The children were very excited to celebrate our Earth. We read the book “Why Should I Recycle?” and learned that recycling is a good way to help the Earth. We worked in the science area with a new Earth Day lesson. The children classified picture cards of activities such as recycling, dumping trash, cleaning, and turning off lights into helpful and non-helpful to the Earth.

We recycled old book order forms to use as our paper for an Earth Day art project.

Our celebration concluded with a delicious Earth Day cupcake for afternoon snack. A big “thank-you” to Ms. Denise for the yummy treat.

This morning the children enjoyed the nice sunshine during playtime. It sure feels like it’s been awhile since we got to enjoy it. Have a fun weekend and enjoy your family time together.

Happy Earth Day!! This morning during circle we read the book “The Lorax” as we introduced and planted seeds of inspiration, about being responsible and taking care of our earth. We later watched a short clip, about how trees are made into paper, and how we can recycle used paper ,so as to save future trees from being destroyed. See you next week.

Germination & Earth Day

by

This week we were focused on the Earth and ways to keep it clean and healthy. We read Michael Recycle by Ellie Bethel. We also look through our class and found the recycle symbol on some of the things in our class. Ms. Denise made earth day cupcakes for both Primary classes. And in the afternoon we are having dirt & worms (crushed oreos and gummy worms).
Along with our earth study we had a lesson on botany, the parts of the flower. we learned what the word germination means-the growing of the seeds. We observed tiny carrot seeds and planted them in our root planter. We are keeping our fingers crossed and hope that our seeds will sprout!

Hi!! We hope you’re staying dry. This morning while playing outside, the children were observing the flowers blooming on the magnolia tree. Which prompted a review about some of the signs of spring. When they came indoors, the children had a lesson on the parts of the flower and an opportunity to observe it’s parts.
