Belated Earth Day... and a Little News :)

Since we couldn't squeeze everything in before vacation on top of all we needed to get done in our usual day, we have spent the beginning of this week doing some belated Earth Day learning. We have integrated this social studies unit into our reading and writing. We have been researching ways to take care of earth to keep it clean and healthy. We have also been learning about the 3Rs- reduce, reuse and recycle! Here is a picture of a class chart we created and have been adding to as we read and learn more. Did you know that old plastic bottles can be reused to make t-shirts?

Today we read an article and completed a graphic organizer. We used this information to make reduce, reuse, recycle mobiles to showcase what we have learned!

Also, as I'm sure your little one has already shared with you- the exciting news is true! Over vacation I became happily engaged. :) Thank you to everyone for your sweet emails and congratulations!
