Monday- I have a strict belief that the more we know about a place the more we want to care for it. We can’t travel many places right now, but we can still appreciate what Earth has to offer. Let's travel using Google Earth. (https://www.google.com/earth/) Use the Search function to look up these different places: 1. Your house 2. Westgate Community School - you'll get to see what it looked like before we had our playground 3. Favorite nature area to visit 4. Favorite City to visit 5. Somewhere you want to visit      Use the Street View function (the little guy above the black and white Earth on the bottom right hand corner of the screen) to look around each of these places.  

Tuesday - Head to Mrs. Valenza’s Staff Profile page to hear her reading from Silent Spring by Rachel Carson.  

Wednesday - Load up a good playlist, your favorite album, or your favorite song on repeat for a 15 minute walk (at least!).  

Thursday - Earth Day is next Wednesday. What better time to learn about this EPIC day??? Here is one article from Scholastic. 

               And this history article is straight from the Earth Day website. Make sure to watch the video on this page of the 1st Earth Day where Denver is featured!  

               Ask yourself, family members, neighbors: Where would you be on this 1st Earth Day in 1970 as a high schooler? On the capital steps? At school? Riding your bike around town?  

Friday - Originally we were going to have an Earth Day fair at Westgate but that can’t happen anymore. We’re going to celebrate in a little different way. Head to Mrs. Valenza’s Staff Profile Page to see what she wants you to do!
