Earth Day~

I have been very busy lately coaching track and recently getting engaged :) that I have been slacking big time on our class blog.  This week we have been talking about how important it is to keep our Earth clean.  We did an art/writing activity.  We used green and blue paint to make our very own Earth's.  I had each student squirt paint onto one side of the circle.  Then they had to fold the paper in half and squeeze the paint so it covered the whole circle.  

 Taa-Daa!

We wrote "The Earth" on the top.  Then each student had to pick an idea how they would help our Earth.  Some wrote that they would plant trees and others wrote that they would pick up trash.
