Earth Day Trash Art Project!

To celebrate Earth Day this year, I am inviting you to make some trash art with your kiddo(s) at home! Last year, we had some really creative projects come through our kinder classroom!

All you have to do is gather some items that you would normally throw away and create something with them. It could be an animal, a tool, a storage container of some kind, whatever you want!

Here are some examples of what you could do!

You do not have to do a project if you don't want to. If you do, please send them to school during Earth Week, April 17-21, so we can display them on the tables in the hallway. I hope to see yours!

Earth Week Math

Last week we carried the Earth Week theme across everything! The kids' stations for math were Earth Day themed just like reading and writing stations. The kids graphed different types of recycling, practiced their addition and subtraction using linking cubes (if they needed them), and the kids solved different word problems at my table.

Earth Week Reading and Writing

Since last Wednesday was Earth Day, we spent the whole week doing Earth Day stations ... we called it Earth Week! :) The kids read and illustrated a flap poem about our Earth, read and colored an Earth book, wrote about how they could help keep our Earth clean, made Earth Day hats, made words using the letters in Earth Day, played a true or false Earth Day game, fixed mistakes in sentences and sorted sentences by complete or incomplete.
