Hi families! This week is Earth Week! (Wahoo!) We will be learning how we can celebrate Earth Week every week and find ways we can help the planet. The whole school will be celebrating Earth Week a bit later in the year, so look out for more news on that.

Some of the activities we will be completing will include making utensil bags! Plastic can take up to 500 years to fully decompose! Yikes! Feel free to give your students a reusable fork or a spoon on Tuesday to place into their utensil bag. 

As a fun treat, we will also be making Earth Week Pudding! If you’re unsure how to make it, it’s quite simple. You start with the gravel (crushed oreos), add some soil (chocolate pudding), add in a few worms (gummy worms), and finish with some more gravel (more crushed oreos). Voila! You have a tasty treat! 

If you would like to provide some of these ingredients for our class we would greatly appreciate it! Here is a sign-up genius. Please have your student bring in the item by Thursday, April 25th, so we can purchase any missing items if necessary. 

Also, a friendly reminder that our field trip is this Wednesday, April 24th! We are so excited to get ready to visit the zoo! Please have your student wear a purple or white shirt, bring a sack lunch, and be prepared for the weather (sunscreen on, hats if needed, a jacket, etc).
