Sunday April 22, 2018 was Earth Day so we decided to use our most recent Inservice Day as an opportunity to talk the the children about caring for our planet and teaching them how they can help.
The Kinders were sent on a nature scavenger hunt to bring back all of the beautiful things that they could find in nature. Without harming any living things, the children came back with bags filled with pinecones, leaves, grass, feathers and all kind of other wonderful treasures. They imprinted their findings into clay as a keepsake.
The older children had a discussion about all of the different things that are impacting the health of our planet right now. Afterwards they each created their own mini Earth.
Finally the Kinders ended their day with a clean water experiment. Taking polluted water from the lake, we demonstrated for the kinders the long process that goes into cleaning water to make it drinkable. (Don't worry, we didn't drink it)
We wil continue to work with the children to find ways that we can help in our community to keep our planet healthy.
