Earth Day with The orchard and Kindergarten!!

Today the Orchard class joined Ms. Mariana's Kindergarten class to take a walk around the school building to collect garbage in honor of Earth Day. The children put a glove on and had fun going around the building collecting whatever empty bottles, newspaper, caps, and other bits of rubbish that were littering the surrounding area around our school. We called it a garbage scavenger hunt and they enjoyed telling us they "made the Earth happy today" by picking up all the trash. We also read a book about ways in which we can help our world, such as planting a tree, turning off lights when we are not in the room, and recycling items.
