Happy BELATED Earth Day from our curiosities class 🌎💚💙
We started our day learning about how/why Earth day started, why it is important to celebrate Earth day everyday & we chatted about the 5 R's.
R - Refuse - Don't use products that cause environmental or human or animal harm.
R - Reduce - If certain things cannot be avoided lessen the amount of these items we use.
R - Reuse - When options are limited choose whichever you can find ways to use it again instead of throwing it away.
R - Recycle - If the best option doesn't meet any other criteria then finding something than can be recycled is the next best thing.
R - Rot - When you can COMPOST your waste! It is great for the Earth, your garden and the worms!
We experimented in the kitchen and made Earth colored muffins AND made our own Earth colored bouncy balls.
Tapping into the creative artist inside we painted the Earth's water areas based on the photograph and then glued cotton balls for continents. Finalizing our globes with a spritzing of water on the cotton balls & a sprinkling of chia seeds.
