Happy Earth Day!

This week in ELL we have many different assemblies and events going on!
Second grade has their musical tomorrow morning and Thursday we have an assembly to celebrate Earth Day :)

Throughout the week, our ELL groups will be doing different activities to celebrate going GREEN.

Kindergarten will be brainstorming ways that we can keep the Earth clean. We will be discussing these different ways through cooperative activities and then writing about all of the ways that we can help keep the Earth clean.

First grade has been studying all about insects and now we will be learning how we can take care of those insects as well to help protect the Earth. We sang a song and wrote about Going Green on Friday that can be found on havefunteaching.com!  "We're going green and keeping the Earth CLEAN!"

Second grade will be learning about the oceans and discussing ways that we can protect our oceans of the world.

Third grade read a story that they are familiar with since they studied the author Chris Van Allsburg. We read the story Just a Dream and identified what the world would be like in the future if we don't protect it.

Fourth grade is doing a similar activity as third grade with a focus on identifying what the world would look like in the future if we continue our current actions and polluting the Earth. We have been working on past, present, and future tenses, so we will be practicing using sentences that represent events in the future (I will, It will probably..., etc.) 

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me :)
