Happy Earth Day, everyone! This week at my school, I have declared it Earth week! After collaborating with our PTA for their generous donation and Mr. Randy Baker, a conservationist from our community, I was able to gift a Maple Sugar seedling to each of our 90 fifth graders! I began with reading them The Lorax and asking them how we can make a difference. After handing out the seedlings, I told them, "Although each of you only has one tree, imagine if 90 trees were planted today and what a positive impact we will have on our environment!" This was an exciting thing to be able to do and incorporate into my science lessons.
