Earth Day
April 22, 2009 | | Leave a Comment
Earth Day was a complete success. The students in Room 104 have learned so much about what to do to help take care of our Earth better. We discussed saving electricity, recycling paper, not cutting down trees, and not polluting or littering. They read books about taking care of the Earth with me, Mrs. Stutz and Mrs. Baker. We had 5th graders come talk to us about how important it is to recycle and conserve electricty. But, the far most exciting event of the day was definitely when Recycle Man came to visit Room 104 in the afternoon. Wow, were these kids excited! They learned great facts about what can be recycled in the paper gator and how and where to look for the recycle number on plastic items.
Two highlights from his appearence:
- Hayden leans over, “Pssst, Mrs. Woodring. Do you think Recycle Man can wait a little bit after school? I want my mom to meet him!”
- Cotey (when he realized his dad was Recycle Man)…Gasp! “That means I’m Recycle Boy!”
Recycle Man, Thank you so much for coming to visit us on Earth Day!
