Earth Day Activity!

I just wanted to share some of Division 14’s creations from yesterday! You did such a great job of creatively finding recycled materials and thinking about how you can reuse it and make it into something new.

My favourite thing to reuse at home is glass jars. As you know we have some in our classroom window with coloured water that we mixed. I use them for plants and I’m also using them as weights while I am doing exercises at home!

I also asked you why it is important to reuse materials? One of your classmates (SW) said, “So you don’t have to buy something new and you don’t have to throw away so much stuff.” Which is a great point! If we find ways to reuse things multiple times, then we are reducing waste! Which is very important when we think about taking care of our Earth. I think it also makes us more mindful about the things that we buy and how much waste they contain.

I hope you have fun playing and using your new creations!

 

With kindness,
