Taking Care of Earth

Happy Earth Day!  This week we talked about how important it is to take care of Earth and ways we can help.  The children learned about recycling and also how to reuse items for another cause. 

After coloring the Recycle box,
the children added paper scraps to the box that could be recycled.

For our science activity, some of the classes talked about water pollution.  They took a bowl or water and then added other items to it.  The water quickly became "dirty".  Then they tried to clean the water but quickly found out how difficult it was to get the water back to "sparkly clean".

The Pre-K class spent a good amount of time talking about Earth and how it looks.  They recreated Earth through two different projects.  Each child even got to make their very own Earth!

The children learned what the green and blue represent on Earth.

What a project! 

They did paper mache over a balloon and then painted it blue. 

Next, they added green tissue paper to represent the land.

Our letter this week was "k" so the children made a k is for koala and also made Kid's Breadsticks as their cooking project.  As you might could guess, these were a big hit!

We also spent some time talking about our number of the week- 7.  Of course, we also had to discuss the 7 seas!

Do your part this week to protect Earth!!!
