Earth Day

On Earth Day, the students read about ways to help our planet in Library.  We brainstormed little changes we can make that have a huge impact on this word.  We made coffee filter Earths to hang on our pledges to help our planet in the hallway.  Here were a few of their ideas:

  • turn off the water when brushing your teeth
  • don't bathe every day (this was the favorite)
  • recycle
  • buy recycled items
  • use both sides of a paper
  • plant trees
  • take only what you will eat
  • turn off the lights as you leave the room
  • use a refillable water bottle
  • pick up trash
  • leave nature as it was when you arrived
  • love worms, put them in the soil and don't step on them
  • compost
