Our Class is Going GREEN!!
While I read this book at the end of the day, I feel like GOING GREEN was our conversation of the entire day! From recycling to planting trees there was so much to talk about!!
It all started this morning during Free Exploration. The first 20 minutes of the day the kids come into our room and make a choice. There are multiple things out including puzzles, books, and the materials in the message center. Today, a few students made “Going Green” messages. At the end of free exploration, they decided some would stay in our class and some could go to other friends via the message center. They also said they should write messages to everyone in our school about going green.
Reid is busy making his Going Green message for the class!
The next moment came when we were getting ready for our weekly recycling trip around the building. I rang the chimes to clean up and get coats. When I reminded the kids about recycling, they all started to cheer!! During our recycling rounds, Raki asked, “Why do we recycle?” Max answered her almost instantly, “Because we want to save the earth!” About 30 seconds later, David chimed in, “Because we are superheros!”
Some of our friends are taking out the recycling!
I must say I am so proud of what the kids have accomplished! At the end of the day today, Sophia summed it up by saying, “Mrs. Clark, the entire school should go green!” I couldn’t have said it better myself 🙂
