Earth Day is Coming

Yes, Earth Day is Sunday, April 22nd. Today, we read the book called "The Great Kapok Tree". Ask your child their favorite animal that came to the man who was going to chop the tree down and write it in the planner for free money. Then we showed pictures and discussed "Funky Junk" and the use of recycling. Yes, students are to collect recyclable items tonight and get an idea of what statue they want to create of a person, animal, or creature. These should not be taller than about 1 foot and should be able to stand up on their own. Have fun and I can't wait to once again see the creativeness of this group. They are due on Friday morning and please don't bring them in any sooner.
Tomorrow is NWEA Language test. Ask the students what treat they got to motivate them for tomorrow.
I can't wait once again to see their awesome scores.
Today in Science we made edible rocks. Yes, first we made sedimentary rocks and then changed them into metamorphic rocks. Ask the kids what they did and write rocks in the planner if they can tell you. It was fun, edible science.
Have a great night.
