Earth Day

Since Earth Day was on Tuesday of this week, we took the time to learn about Earth and how we can take care of our planet.   The children talked about the importance of not littering, picking up trash, and recycling.
One class made Little Collection Bags to use to pick up trash!
The children brought in items from home and decided which bin to place them in- plastic, tin, or paper.
They then used some of the items collected to make some fun art!  Talk about reusing! 
We also learned about pollution and why we need to keep our water clean.  The Pre-K class did a fun science activity where they tried to clean up the dirty water!
By the end of the week, the children knew many ways that they could help the Earth.  They then did an activity where they picked one way that they were going to try to protect where we live!
We can't forget our letter of the week- "j"!  The children made "j is for jellyfish"!  Let's hope our ocean stays clean so that we can still have fun learning about ocean life! 
Help us protect Earth and keep it a wonderful place to live!  Happy Earth Day!
