Earth Day

Hey everyone,

It's been a bit since I've been able to blog. Spring break is over and with the flowers blooming on the trees and the smell of fresh cut grass it makes me think of what a beautiful world we live in.
Talking about the world with the kids can open up so many different discussions. Kids are so curious about our world. Lately, since earth day is coming up soon on April 22nd I've been trying to focus our discussions on environmental issues. Causes /effects, Actions /reactions, what we need to live on this planet and how everyone and everything can be affected when changes take place.

I have been a frequent visitor to Eco Kids Canada and recently they sent me an Eco Kids Scavenger Hunt to be completed with the kids to win a prize. It is a series of questions about the earth. This is a great way to do some research with your kids. I have learnt so much working with them on this Hunt. They have a Homework Help page where you can get most of the answers.
On each page there is "More on this topic area" to the right where there are printable worksheets that go hand in hand with what they are reading.

If the link above doesn't work to get the printable Pdf form of the Scavenger Hunt then just go here and click Sign up it's Free button on the Teacher's Lounge area.
