The toddlers celebrated Earth Day this April by creating headbands and sorting trash versus recycling. We also have sorted flowers, talked about the parts of a flower, created a name garden, painted bottle print flowers, and planted seeds. To round out our unit the toddlers painted a flower picture to put on the back of a special gift for Mother’s Day.
In celebration of Earth Day (April 22) our toddler class created the”Earth” using glue water and tissue paper. We discussed that the blue stood for the ocean and the green for the land. We talked about many of the different things that live on the Earth.
On Tuesday the K Prep students continued their Dr. Seuss study with another popular book, The Lorax. We learned how important it is to take care of OUR earth and some simple ways to help keep it healthy. We started by planting a green bean seed and learned how to take care of it so it grows healthy and strong.
We have been working on learning to read the color words during the month of April and it continues this week…earth day style! What Color is YOUR recycle bin?
We had so much fun talking about our wonderful Earth! We brainstormed ways to keep Earth clean and protect our air, trees, and water. Our preschoolers are impressively green!
We talked all about how important it is to recycle. Next we built with items you can recycle at school or at home. We discussed reusing things with a new purpose, for example building with old boxes instead of blocks.
Then we worked we reused magazines to make art.
Lastly, we discussed what WE could EACH do to help keep Earth healthy. The preschoolers pledged to make sure all garbage makes it in the trash, not waste water while brushing their teeth or washing hands, recycling, and using both sides of paper. Ask your preschooler how they are helping our earth!
Today the preschoolers celebrated Earth Day! We brainstormed ways to protect our Earth and things we can do to help. Next, we strengthened our fine motor muscles by tearing recycled magazine sheets and creating a collage of the Earth. Ask your little one how they are going green!
