Earth Day is Coming!

Earth Day is Sunday, April 22nd. Do you have any lessons prepared to celebrate this very important day?


If you don't, you need look no further than TEACHERS Pay TEACHERS (TpT), an open marketplace for educators.

Each week I receive an e-mail notifying me of 10 Free Downloads. This week, there are some great Earth Day downloads! Brynne and I will be incorporating:

The Great Kapok Tree ~ Celebrating Earth Day by Cooperative Learning 365
Earth Day Report Card by Runde's Room
Lorax Earth Day Craftivity by Mel D

On Friday afternoon, after we get home from Co-op, we are going to watch the movie, The Lorax.


We will also be going to the zoo on Saturday because our local zoo is having an Earth Day celebration.

If you want to do different activities, TpT has 789 Earth Day Materials you can choose from. Some are free, some are at a minimal cost.

I encourage you to stop by the site, look it over, download some great materials and SIGN UP FOR THE WEEKLY E-MAILS! Scroll to the bottom of this link to sign up. I get some great free lesson plans from this weekly e-mail.

Celebrate Earth Day with your students! It's a great thing to do!

ABCya

Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
