This week in first grade we started talking about Earth Day. Earth Day coincides with our Science unit about Earth (what Earth is made of, landforms, etc.). We will be studying Earth for the next week and a half or so, but to start off, we talked about ways we can help protect the Earth. We made an anchor chart and listed everything "First Graders Can Do to Save the Earth." It was pretty inspiring to see how excited my firsties got talking about how they can help. Many of them even came to school the next day sharing about how they reminded their family to turn off lights not being used, take a quick shower, reuse bags, etc. (I love first graders!!) After our discussion in class, each first grader made a mosaic of the Earth and wrote a promise about what they can do to help.

(Don't you love that inventive spelling?!)
This week we'll be doing experiments with erosion and weathering, as well as continue talking about Earth Day and the impact our choices have on the environment.
Have a good week!
