Happy Earth Day!
We have been spending the week talking and learning about ways in which we can help the Earth. Everyone had such wonderful ideas on how they could contribute. The very first thing they thought of was picking up garbage, so we talked about the importance of asking a grown up what an item is before handling it, and wearing protective items like gloves or using garbage claws.
The kids had crumpled paper races, crafted with recyclables and items we found in the laying around, and reused terracotta pots that were destined for the trash to create their own little flower pots. They added their own coloured pinwheels and some had plans to add dirt. Cute!
The kids also sorted images of good and bad things for the Earth.
Our focus books this week included
- The Earth Book by Todd Parr
- Why I love the Earth, illustrated by
- What Matters by
- Curious George plants a tree by
- How the crayons saved the Earth by Monica Sweeney
We continued to work on our French colours, this time moving to secondary colours. They are quite interested and doing an awesome job! All of the big kids can count to ten in French and have been wanting to learn teen numbers as well, as we are going with the flow!
