Today we began the day by talking about various types of public transportation. We came up with many, which include a bus, a train, a shuttle, a taxi and an airplane. Following this, we drew our own favourite types of public transportation.
We also discussed Earth Day and read a book about a boy who celebrates Earth Day by planting new trees in areas lacking them. We talked about different ways we can help to save the planet and conserve our resources for future generations (in a more simplified way however!).
Some of the ways to help our planet are to conserve water (turn off the tap when not using it), recycle all recyclable products, turn off the lights if we are not in a room, ride our bikes more, and throw out our garbage to reduce pollution. We also pledged to do these things on a mini "Lorax" themed pledge sheet.
After lunch, the entire student body went outside to the back of the school to clean up any garbage in order to keep our school clean!!
When we got back, we did an earth day activity with coffee filters, markers and a touch of water. It was a lot of fun. After second lunch, we decided to enjoy our planet and decided to go for a walk to the park with Ms. Chang's class.
That sums up another week at SJA. Happy Earth Day and happy recycling!!!
