Earth Week

Today we got back into school mode with the start to our celebration of Earth Week.  We have our "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" poster up and our bulletin board has it's RRR border and is waiting for all the cool art and poetry we do this week to fill it up.  I found a great Earth Day packet on www.teachervision.fen.com and we choose to focus on water today, reading about water conservation and also about ocean pollution.  For art, we cut out a large circle, glued it to the inside of a box lid, dropped in a few splashes of blue and green, four marbles, and made an awesome Earth marble painting.  We also made a crazy color marble painting just to be on the creative side :-)  In addition to our other assignments, we also enjoyed our ongoing baseball unit, working on an ABC paper for baseball, a term for every letter, and reading a story about the Acceras, twelve brothers who put together their own semi-pro team and played across the country.  The best part of the day, however, was being able to finish everything by 1:30.  Love having a little time to myself in the afternoon....if only the baby would take her nap.
