EARTH DAY!

Happy belated Earth Day everyone! In honor of Earth day, students from kindergarten, first grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and sixth grade made projects out of recycled materials. We discussed why it is so important to recycle and why every once and a while it is nice to use recycled material for our art, rather than new paper.
For the earth day project, I wanted help from different grades in creating a jungle scene. Kindergarten used recycled egg cartons to make colorful caterpillars. The students were only given primary colors and had to mix secondary colors on their own. First grade used recycled toilet paper rolls to make patterned snakes. Fourth grade used recycled water bottles to cut and paint to look like flowers. Fifth grade used recycled cardboard and magazines to make signs promoting taking care of our earth. Sixth grade helped in collecting materials as well as making leaves and flowers out of recycled newspaper.
