This week we started our new unit on the Environment. What better way to kick off the new unit with a famous Dr. Seuss book: The Lorax. The Lorax is a character who speaks for the trees. He doesn't want anyone or anything breaking down the beautiful colours and clean air in our environment. Throughout the book, we see bright colours turn into black, white, and grey because of all the pollution and knocking down of trees. It gave a great visual for the children to really understand what could happen if we acted this same way on our earth today.
Here is a picture of our classroom door:
One of our favourite Art lessons-- Directed Drawings. If you get a chance to come visit, please stop by our classroom window and see how wonderful and unique our Lorax drawings are!
With our continued discussions on what we can do to help our earth and "go green" we have done a lot of brainstorming. Here are just a few Lorax examples:
As a class and individual in our classroom community, we want to make a difference in this world, one day at a time. We discussed if we had the "whole world in our hands" what would we do. Some of us thought literally and others thought metaphorically. Here is our bulletin board display. Please feel free to come visit and browse through our different ideas and plans!
From our classroom to you, we can all make a difference!
Don't forget, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! :)
And to finish with our favourite Lorax quote:
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
Love,
Division 16
