We are celebrating Earth day all week long by engaging in many activities reminding us of the importance of taking
care of the Earth God has blessed us with.
The first thing we needed to do was to commit to
doing our best to care for the Earth.
We made a promise and sealed it with our handprints.

We are learning about the 3 R's... Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
One way we can reuse items is to turn them into
something else. We used some food boxes and cut
the front panel off and made them into puzzles.
So easy. So fun!!
Exploring loose parts and an invitation to create an Earth
produced these results. So cool and so creative!
Our pretend lab has turned into a recycling center.
To help us to understand HOW to sort the different items,
we have been playing a sorting game and now we are
officially able to work in the recycling plant.

The children accept recyclables from the community.
The items get dumped into a giant dumpster.
From there the employees at the center sort the items into crates...
newspaper, cans, bottles, plastic.
Sometimes people get paid for collecting aluminum.
Having a bit of fun with our literacy activities too!
'Write-the-Room' has the children going on a hunt for alphabet trash cans around the room and marking a recording sheet.
Our mini sensory bin is a silly game of pick-up-the-trash.
The children need to find a piece of trash, identify the sound (or letter) on the piece of trash, and then crumple it up and toss it into the sensory bin.
The finger gym gets our hands and fingers going by
grabbing little pieces of trash with a mini tongs and
dropping them into a small can.
Our week will end with a neighborhood clean-up with
our big buddies on Friday:)
