We're getting into that green spirit in our classroom! After discussing plant life cycles and the learning about the benefits of having plants all around us we've decided to start a classroom garden!
Our first Green Schools project! The theme "Love the World You're On" was put on our classroom door. We discussed and decorated the door with miniature Earths which featured our ideas on how we affect the Earth and how we can help protect it, including:recycling, reusing and conservation.
Kindergarten students are looking at the videos of the CBC green tracks music. They are creating instruments out of recycled materials and are beginning to compose their own songs with lyrics about protecting the environment.
Students from grade 11/12th came to the k/2 class to read poems for Earth Day. Environment, children, and the Earth were upon the subjects. After the readings, k/2 students created poems for Earth Day and shared them with the older students ! Everyone loved their experience !
Inspired by a Grade 4 student, ‘Shrub Club’ in Smith School has been quite successful. The 10 members of Shrub Club applied to be a member of the club, adopted their own plants and shrubs, and take care of them on a weekly basis. They water them and learned how to transplant them.
