Earth Day Activities II

1-2-3 Come Celebrate Earth Day With Me!

My Y5's enjoyed learning how to care for our planet more than on just Earth Day. I took an entire week to teach them how even little kids could make a difference by simply turning the water off while they brushed their teeth, as well as not being a litter bug.

We had wonderful discussions of other things we could do and what they as a family were already doing.

A creative way to have students write about how they reduce, reuse or recycle, helping to take care of, and love our earth, is by making the "I Love The Earth" personal writing prompt "craftivity."

Students cut and colored their planet earth and glued it to a heart, where they wrote what they did to help out.

I traced my students' hands and they drew a self portrait to make this a real cute keepsake, as well as an awesome hallway display.
