Making a class book is a fun way to get your kiddo's excited about writing. Each child completes their page; you collect and collate them.

Students complete the thought for each of the 3 sentences. How do they reduce, reuse andrecyle to help our earth?

Remind them about capitalization, spacing and punctuation, so that you cover those standards as well.

When you share the completed book with your class, have each child read their own page.

Add some pizzazz by having students color the illustrations and then glue their own school photo over either the girl or boy's face.  Click on the link to view/download the Earth Day Class Book.

The recycling symbols and hearts are glued together to form 3 sides; one for each R word. Students write how they reduce on one heart, how they reuse on another and finally how they recycle on the 3rd one.

Hang from a yarn loop so the writing prompt "craftivity" twirls and dangles from the ceiling.

Students roll first one, and then two dice, to get a time-to-the-hour number that they write on their clock. 

They then glue the matching numbered item that it is "time to reduce, reuse or recycle."
