Earth Week continued today with our lesson on saving the planet. We each thought about parts of nature and the earth that we love the most. We talked about the things we could do to protect the earth and the parts of it we love. It's a lot of work protecting the planet but we can all do our part! Later we worked on a fun project to help display the parts of the planet we love. We started by taking a photo of ourselves pretending to hold up the whole world! We then added our hand print to make our world more personal! Then we attached our answers to our feet, and our hands to our world!

Are you ready to let your students be creative while learning about ways to care for our planet? One of the most important aspects of teaching Earth Day concepts to young children is to help them realize that they can contribute to making the Earth a healthier planet even at a young age. To be honest, it might be puzzling for young kids who aren't sure what the relevance is about. The first step in raising the next generation of environmentally responsible citizens is to consider how to explain Earth Day to young kids, and it may be easier than it sounds. Young children can learn about our environment, nature, and ways to preserve our planet on Earth Day, whether in the classroom or at home this 2022. CREATIVE IDEAS FOR CELEBRATING EARTH DAY 1. Learn the 3 R's -Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle: It's never too early to help educate our students about the importance of conserving natural resources like saving water, landfill space, energy, and other resources. By reducing waste and consumption, repurposing old items, and recycling appropriate materials, we can reduce the burden on landfills while also protecting the environment. To prevent our planet from becoming a landfill, we must all play a role in raising awareness among children in order to ensure a brighter future. 2. Connect with nature Getting outside and exploring nature is one of the best ways to celebrate Earth Day. Don’t forget to remind students about the golden rule of nature exploring: “Take only pictures, leave only footprints.” Kids can observe wildlife and appreciate the beauty of plants and animals in natural habitats throughout city parks and conservation areas as they explore. There are numerous ways to demonstrate to children how nature awakens. As they observe nature, children may develop a love for it and our planet. 3. Create recycled art Crafting is something that children enjoy doing. Making crafts out of recycled items is a fun way to teach kids about the importance of recycling. You could create an outdoor art project using old stones, sticks, recycled items, and other items, or you could recycle tin cans by painting them or wrapping paper around them to make a pencil holder. There are a lot of great ideas available on the internet that you can try with your pupils! 4. Make a pledge for Earth Day Since kids love to draw and doodle, put those talents to good use by creating an Earth Day pledge. Make a list of the things kids would like to do to maintain the health of our environment like planting trees, going paperless, conserving water and electricity, spending more time outdoors and many more. Give kids a list of ideas for their Earth Day pledge that they can use today. Encourage them to think of ways to reduce their carbon footprint, and then write them down. 5. Learning through Earth Day Science Worksheets Earth Day is the ideal time to educate and motivate your children to make a difference in the world and simple preschool Earth Day activities are a great way to celebrate the occasion. Here's a set of Earth Day-themed reading and science lessons and activities that cover both reading and science standards. Earth Day Activities Kindergarten First Grade Second | Adapted SPED Science Unit Simple and engaging writing, science, and reading activities for the picture book Michael Recycle will enable students to improve their reading comprehension, science vocabulary, writing skills, and learn how to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

This resource is simple to incorporate into your classroom this Earth Day because it is both engaging for students and simple for the teachers. CREATING IMPACT FOR OUR PLANET These environmental concepts, arts and crafts, and easy science activities are a great way to introduce Earth Day to young kids! Children are fascinated by new and interesting things to learn, and they will put this new knowledge to good use even as they grow older. As a teacher, I can attest to the importance of teaching children as young as they are now that small steps can make a difference in caring for our beloved planet. Remember that leading by example is the best way for children to learn about Earth Day. You have the ability to set an example by being a responsible citizen in this world for them to follow. Help them come up with ideas for how they can actively participate in making positive changes in the environment, and I hope you find these fun activities useful to include in their learning. See you next time and may you have an Oinktastic time today!

Are ya'll familiar with the Japanese holiday called Children's Day? I think sometimes my students are convinced that everyday is Children's Day which is why nearly every night is Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day for this art teacher. But I digress. The real Children's Day is celebrated in Japan on the 5th day of May which, in case you didn't know, is the 5th month. It's a day set aside to respect children's personalities and to celebrate their happiness. Which, seriously, that part should be everyday in an art room, don't you think? On this day, all children fly a carp kite called a koinobori on a flag pole, along with the koinobori of those in their family. The father's koinobori is usually at the top, followed by the mother with the children's kites, from oldest to youngest, flown below. I had big visions of flying the kids' koinobori outside of our school for the occasion and for our upcoming art show (which is in 10 days, people! Not that I'm freaking out at all). However, we had some pretty Big, Bad and Ugly weather at the start of last week that lead me to believe that keeping these lovelies inside would be a better bet. The last time I hung something in these windows, it was a pretty big hit so I thought I'd do it again with our koinobori. Along with a sign, of course. Otherwise everyone just thought they were super cool fish kites. Which they are but there's also a super cool story behind them as well. So just how did my friends in First Grade Land create these awesome koinobori? Dude, it was so super easy and, like, the World's Fastest Art Project (which for me is a total rarity). Here's a list of the supplies we used: Roylco's Japanese Carp Wind Sock Kit For about $8, you can get your kitten mittens on a set of 24 die-cut fish with tag board strips that get glued into the mouths (if you look at the orange fish above, you'll see the tag board propping open the mouth.) Sharpies. This is optional. I had the kids use these to add details that they wanted to remain permanent. Watercolor Paint. Boy, talk about an End-of-the-School-Year-We-Are-Almost-Outta-Supplies Limited Palette, ya'll. But, we're artists, kids! We can make do! Or something like that. A Spray Bottle Full of Water. Yarn. Hole Punch. How the lesson went down: My kids have been learning about Asia, with an emphasis on Japan, all year. In fact, we'd just finished off this sushi lesson not long ago and had just completed making a ceramic koi fish. I needed a short and quick tie-in lesson while our clay projects dried and fired. These koinobori were just the perfect thing. After chatting about Children's Day, the kids were given a tray of warm and cold colored Sharpie markers. We chatted about the parts of a fish (fins, gills, scales, tail, etc.) and how we might emphasize those with either warm or cool colored Sharpies. That took up our first 30 minute session. For the next 30 minute session, we reviewed correct use of water color paint (which obviously doesn't include cleaning the tray, ew!). I also told the kids that they were again to use warm or cool colors but that they didn't have to stick with the same color family as they used last art class. Once the kids had collected their supplies (a paint brush and two ziplock bags -- the two things I forgot to mention in that above supply list, doh!), they were to raise their hand and I came over and squirted their fish with water. Because the paper is made from the same stuff as coffee filters, a wee spritz of water really helps the water color paint to spread out. The kids thought that was pretty rad. Once the kids had painted their entire fish, they were given the option of splatter painting. I don't think a single kid opted out of that one. To dry, the kids gingerly carried their zip locked fish to the floor. The reason I kept the bags on the bottom was that I found that the color will often run off the paper and on to the surface that it is sitting on. However, if the paper is allowed to "sit in it's own juices" so to speak, it dries much more vibrant. Now, normally, I woulda had the kids add the tag board and attempt to tie the string. But I was in a bit of a time crunch. So I set aside about 15 minutes every afternoon to hot glue the tag board at the top, hot glue it into a tube, hole punch the top and add the yarn. By the end of the week, I had all of my classes finished. To hang, I bent a paper clip so that it looked like some sort of scary prison shank and stuck it into the foamy ceiling tie. I added the top fish to that paper clip. Then I hole punched the bottom of that fish and added a bent paper clip to that hole where I attached the second fish. If I'm not making any sense it's because I'm deep into that aforementioned Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day and I simply cannot be held accountable for my incoherentness. I managed to get 'em all up and ready for Monday, May 5th on Friday. I can't wait for the kids (and the grown kids) to see them and celebrate all things children -- especially during our standardized testing week! Until next time, enjoy Children's Day! Or Grape-Flavored Grown-Up Drink Day. Your choice.
