Earth Day

Theme: Let's Help Keep Our Earth Clean!

Choosing Time: Play-doh, Dinosaurs, Foam Puzzle Blocks, & Puppets
Game: "Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate cake!" Thank you Jake for adding a fun twist to the traditional Duck, Duck, Goose game :)

Snack: Thank you Jake for sharing a GIANT bag of Pretzels with us!

Lesson: We had a "Pond" filled with all kinds of fish. I had several items of trash that ended up in our pond. When the pond was filled with garbage there wasn't any more room for the fish. We cleaned up our pond. We sorted the garbage into trash & recycle piles. We were happy to make room for the fish to come back. It was fun to think of some ideas on how to use trash. For example, we can make puppets from empty toilet paper tubes...We learned that many people just throw their trash on the ground because it is easy. This makes our earth ugly. We love our earth and want to keep it clean.
