Earth Day Fun

Funded May 15, 2024

Teaching can always be associated with an activity. The books we received were associated with the other materials in the package. We had seeds, potting soil and pots for planting. So after allowing the kids to go through the books and talking about how each of us can help save the planet, we started planting out herbs. The students were able to paint their pots and be as creative as they can. We discussed how getting multiple uses of something such as a plant can help save money and lowering emissions to and from the grocery store.

The books showed us how to recycle, separate our garbage into the correct bins. Other books showed ways of planting seeds and different types of flowers. The kids were able to touch soil and plant their herb of choice. We discussed how the herb they choose can be useful in their parents kitchen. They loved the idea of watching the plant grow into something useful for their parents. This put smiles on their faces.”
