Peace, Love & Earth Day!

Soooooo, you know how Earth Day was Sunday?  Well, my school has completely confused my kiddos!  When team leaders met last year to plan out this year, it was decided we would celebrate Earth Day after STAAR testing.  No big deal... except when you teach younger friends that 100% know the calendar and have a HUGE amount of respect for annual things like EARTH DAY.  They're confused.  Since I was out adminstering the test for two days, I went a head and snuck in Earth Day goodness all week.  That way, when everyone wears green next Monday, my kids will have the language to understand the conversation during morning announcements and other things.  I'm pretty excited by what they have learned.  So far we have really emphasized RECYCLE this month and have also hit on REUSE.  Tomorrow and Monday will mostly be REDUCE.  I think they're totally going to catch onto it quickly.  I'll have to share our REUSE artwork we made with bottles.  Sooooooooooo springy and adorable! :) :)

If you're in the mood to hit up some last minute {or in my case, early bird planning} Earth Day stuff... check out this AWESOME Earth Day FREEBIE on TeachersPayTeachers.com!!!

Just click on the picture of Rachelle's awesome activity packet and grab it!  I guess I should give a shout out to her blog, too!  WhatTheTeacherWants.blogspot.com  I found the activity first after searching on TPT.... now I'm a follower! :)  I cannot wait to fluff up my Science/SS workstation tomorrow and next week!  Soooooo fun!  We're also wrapping up FISH tomorrow ONLY TO BEGIN amphibians next week..... I am a science NERD!!!  More on Earth Day in room 315 tomorrow! :) :)
