In the week leading up to Earth Day on April 22, 2013, the students read an article and some books that I put on display for them. I also gave each science group a big piece of chart paper for them to draw what Earth Day is all about, and here are their amazing ideas.
We then read “Just a Dream” by Chis van Allsberg and then I gave the students cut out circles to draw what they hope their future Earth will look like. They drew beautiful pictures of animals and plants and they included incredible details of what we learned in our science classes! I can’t wait to post them on our spring bulletin. They also traced green handprints all around the globe to frame their drawing.
Here’s a sample:
Every handprint is printed a promise to make Earth Day every day!
Three cheers for a thoughtful Earth Day in our class.
