Earth Day week fit so well into our garden theme. After reviewing our plant parts vocabulary, we read Cactus Soup by Eric Kimmel. After our story, the real fun began when the children got to try cactus! Not a favorite of everyone, but most tried it and several really liked it-you can buy Nopalitos, cactus, at Walmart. We watched a Maya and Miguel Earth Day movie and then "recycled" some paper into ripped scraps to use next week for our maraca paper mache making.
B1-2 Technology:
Earth Day week in tech lab gave us a chance to explore the virtual Eecko World. There is so much to explore here that we spent the entire class period (after keyboarding practice, of course!)
3-4 Technology:
Earth Day week gave 3-4 a chance to talk about things they can do to help our world. We then read the poem "If I Were In Charge of the World" by Judith Viorst and wrote our own In Charge poems with this instant In Charge of the World poem generator. The results were pasted into a Word document and formatted with new font, clipart, and borders. Remaining time was spent playing some environmental games on Ecokids.
