Good Morning Everyone,
Today is Earth Day, an annual event celebrated in many parts of the world. It is a day to show our appreciation for the environment and think of ways that we can protect it. Many of our daily actions have a negative impact on nature and the planet but we can take action to decrease the damage. This video from SciShow Kids shows some ways we can help.

Earth Day Poetry
Copy this short poem onto one of the blank pages in your poetry book.
(Poem taken from: https://ownthegreen.com/earth-day-poems/)
On the back of the page, write the title:
Ways to Help the Planet
Draw and label at least 5 ways you can help the environment. I have included an example with a few ideas to get you started. Please note, you do not need to use them if you have other ideas in mind.
If you can’t read the printing, it states:
Ways To Help The Planet
Plant a seed.
Use a cloth bag instead of plastic.
Turn off the lights when you aren’t using them.
Epic Readers
I was recently notified that Division 10 has already read over 250 books on the Epic app and website! Congratulations! This does not even factor in the 141 books read on KidsA-Z! That is truly impressive. I am so proud of all of you. Keep up the good work!

Let’s keep up the streak and aim to read another Epic book over the next few days as well as two books on KidsA-Z.
Reading Riddle
Let’s keep working out our math brains. Try solve the problem below:
Sandra read 5 books, Deacon read 6 books and Breanna read 7 books. One book was read by all three children, but every other book was different. How many different books did the children read?
Write the title “Reading Riddle” into your response booklet and then draw pictures or symbols to help you solve the riddle. I will post the answer on Friday.
This word problem is taken from:

This website is filled with different types of math worksheets. If you are ever looking for extra practice, this is a great place to start. If you don’t have a printer, you can always copy the questions directly into your response booklet.
