Save the Earth!

During our unit on Saving the Earth, the children were exposed to a variety of concepts, including: renewable/nonrenewable resources, conservation, as well as the three R's- reduce, reuse, recycle. We had a few interesting hands-on learning experiences to help deepen our understanding of these concepts including our fishing activity and a simulated oil spill. Today the children put one of the 3 R's into action (Reuse!) as they turned their old milk jugs into a brand new bird feeder. Not only did we find a new use for an old item, but we made less garbage in the process! We love the Earth! :)
