Earth Day Project Part 2

The 2nd graders Earth Day Projects are complete and on Friday I will be taking their messages to the corner grocery store. Their "Save the Earth" messages are clearly decorated on each grocery bag and students are excited about their impact. Here is a sampling of what they have done.

Earth Day Project

Earth Day will be celebrated on April 22, 2011. Unfortunately, we will be out of school for our Spring Break. That doesn't mean we can't do something special on the 22th. Through the Earth Day Groceries Project some of our students will help spread the word about the importance of taking care of our Earth. This project is sponsored by a non-profit organization that is trying to promote environmental awareness across schools nationwide. It proposes that we help empower our students to spread the word about the importance of taking care of our Earth. All we need is a paper bag for each participating student and a neighborhood grocery store willing to help spread the student's messages.

Today I started working with Ms. Morodokhin's Class 2-3 on the Earth Day Groceries Project. After discussing some of the ways we can help conserve energy, conserve water, reduce trash, and/or reduce pollution everyone had the opportunity to look through some books on these topics. Students have begun writing messages on small grocery bags and decorating them with Earth Day images. Once all the bags are decorated I will take them to the nearest corner store. The clerk will then fill these bags with customers groceries on April 22th. Alas, their Earth Day messages will be traveling home with our neighbors.
