Today we read the story, The Earth and I, in honor of Earth Day! Last week, we discussed recycling and started our composting with our "worm hotel". Our worms LOVE paper. Children can bring in newspaper from home that we will tear and feed to the worms for composting. We will continue to discuss and learn ways that we can help take care of our Earth. This Friday, the Lower School will celebrate our Earth by wearing a special shirt color. An e-mail was sent this morning explaining what shirt color the children can wear. The note sent via e-mail is also pictured below.
