Earth Day!!
Today we had a wonderful day celebrating Earth Day and learning all about different ways to take care of our Earth to include recycling and picking up litter!! We went on a nature scavenger hunt with our 4th grade buddies and simply had a terrific learning experience as we explored God's wonderful creations!
In math we identified the properties of a cone to compare and contrast it to other 3D objects such as the cube and sphere!
For our science project in honor of Earth Day, we repurposed a recycled item and made a seed starter using a water bottle!
