Earth Day

Friday, April 22 was Earth Day. Our class talked about Earth Day all week in conjunction with our unit on landforms. We used many activities from Mrs. Saylor's First Grade Blog. We used her idea of shaving cream landforms. This was a great activity and it also helped clean our tables.

Our Mountain:

Our Valley:

Two Hills:

On Tuesday, we made the Earth from markers, coffee filters and a little water. I saw the activity on ProTeacher and on Techy Teacher Blog and I thought they turned out great!

On Friday, the students did a writing assignment on "How would you make the world a better place?" Below is pictures of their work. If you would like a copy of the template click Here.

The lunchroom staff celebrated Earth Day by giving each child a Earth key chain at lunch.
