Hey everyone! Hope your weekend has been great! :)
We've been working on a little bit of home improvement...
This room used to be purple. We are thinking of moving my son into this room. He was not diggin' the purple :)
Our house was a wide range of colors when we first bought it...
pink family room
mint green hallways
orange living room
bright blue bedroom
purple bedroom
It's been a joy painting over all those lovely colors :)
Oh and we are FINALLY getting rid of the PINK in the bathroom..
I'm almost embarrassed to show you this! We are having the tiles sprayed this week. I'll be sure to post after photos soon! :)
The second graders have been working on a few projects to celebrate Earth Day! We've also coordinated this with our Science unit on Natural Resources so it was a nice tie in. Our first project was an at-home assignment. The children were to find an object (s) that are no longer being used and "save" them from the trash by reusing the object as something new. It was TOTALLY amazing to see some of the things the children created! I saw an orange juice container turned into a wallet (no joke!), a pair of jeans turned into a "snake" to stop the draft from the door, and even cereal boxes turned into drawers for storage! Here are some pictures of a few other things:
Glass Jar- now a picture frame!
These are M&M wrappers turned into a wallet!
This is a ketchup bottle turned into a bird feeder!
These are water bottles turned into a jump rope! My personal favorite! :)
Here is the paper that we sent home with the kids to explain the project:

What a great home project for the students and families. I am going to get this going tomorrow with my Third grade Ecologists. I am seriously thinking of making one of those jump ropes with the water bottles and flowers for myself! Thanks for the post.

ReplyDeleteThe moment to defend our world is now, from the fading meadows and woods that have been replaced by industrial and desert, to the polluted sky and oceans. We can take action to help address these concerns for future generations by commemorating Earth Day and working together to maintain our one planet. Today, we may take a little step together by recording our beautiful natural world or contaminated environment with our camera lenses to awaken responsibilities to preserve and conserve the Earth for future generations.
Hey there! Celebrating Earth Day is all about showing our love for this beautiful planet we live on, and there's no better way to do that than by taking action. Here are a few Earth Day at-home project ideas that you can get started with remember, every little bit helps when it comes to protecting our planet. So get creative, have fun, and make Earth Day (and every day) a celebration of our beautiful planet!
