Alongside the closing of our Sharing the Planet unit of inquiry about ecosystems, the Grade 2s came up with the idea of creating a special day to celebrate the environment, which they called “One Earth Day”. Together, we decided on some acts that we can do on this day to help protect and honor the environment and its ecosystems. We spent the afternoon sharing books, ensuring snacks and lunches were waste-free, reducing electricity use, going paperless, picking up garbage and working in the garden with Mr. Nash!
