Earth Week - April 2012

Awakening a sense of respect, gratitude, and appreciation for nature!


Instilling in our students a sense of respect and appreciation for nature is at the heart of The Earth School's values.  Earth Week was a wonderful opportunity for our students to put in practice everything they had been learning about recycling, reducing, reusing, planting, and other ways to take care of our planet.

Our students planted fruits, vegetables, and flowering plants and wrote beautiful Thank You letters to the Earth as part of their creative writing class.  A colorful Thank You Earth mural was also part of the activities of the younger children, as well as clay creations.  Cutting and gluing images of what they are thankful for gave them the opportunity to further develop their fine motor skills, while expressing gratitude for everything they have.
