Friday is EARTH DAY. So, we're taking the week to stop, look around, and think about the things we can do as first graders to help the Earth. Here's a list of what we came up with. Many of these things you can try at home!
 | Reduce the gas you use and walk or bike to school. Reduce the amount of paper you use. Use a whiteboard. Reduce the amount of electricity you use and turn off the lights! Reduce the amount of trash we use. Use reusable things. |
 | Reuse paper when it's blank on one side. Reuse cloth napkins instead of paper ones. Reuse a water bottle instead of buying plastic ones. Reuse old clothes clothes and toys or give them away. |
 | Recycle cans and bottles. Recycle paper. Recycle cardboard boxes. Recycle plastic containers. |
Do you notice a pattern here? You've probably heard it before. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
But we also came up with a new one...INNOVATE. We're smart kids with big brains and we're inventors too. We can come up with new ways to make renewable energy and earth saving inventions and we're ready to start now. Look out! We're going to do BIG THINGS for the world.
