Our Green Club has 32 passionate grade 3's and 4's engaged in greening our school. This year long club meets every Wednesday to learn about environmental issues as well as work on projects.
It's getting real hot here in Sokcho, so the class came up with a great way to reuse our used class handouts: FANS! We also had a great class discussion about the energy we are conserving by not throwing out the handouts.
Avocado are a rare thing here in Korea, so when I brought in what appeared to be a massive seed the students were super excited! We researched avocados and avocado seed germinating, and decided we were up to the task to try our own in our classroom garden.
The students are so excited to start their gardening! They brought in large water/ juice bottles, yogurt plastic jars, and plastic coffee cups to pot their soil.
Our class took part in a wonderful outdoor scavenger hunt that featured clues from our in class enviornmental diccussions as well as fun common outdoor objects that may be easily overlooked by the daily passerby. Needless to say they had so much fun participating in the nature around us!
