earth day

I teach kindergarten, and in preparation for Earth Day, we have spent the last week talking about all the ways we can be friends to the Earth.  

Our list includes:

Bringing our own bags

Using cloth napkins

Avoiding single use plastic water bottles

Turing off the water while we brush our teeth 

Using reusable containers

Today, our Earth Day celebration culminated with a playground clean-up job.  We were able to make our campus a more enjoyable place, with the added bonus of enjoying the beautiful weather.  

Little things can make a big difference.  If we teach our children how to be stewards, they will grow up with green habits.  Now is the time to make big changes for long term rewards.

How will you celebrate Earth Day?

Our school's Green Team celebrated by
potting plants for the staff.
