In honor of Earth Day, we read the book The Lorax.
We marveled at how beautiful Truffalo Trees are, and felt sad when the last one was chopped down.
We talked about the Once-ler, and how he only uses things once, is wasteful
We all promised that we would all do our part to reduce waste and recycle.
To remind us of our promise, we made Truffalo Trees (pom pom pencils)
Kellen impressed me with his hot glue gun technique and volunteered to help others with their glue.
Although the students enjoyed this craft, what they REALLY hoped to do was to plant a tree seed.
sigh. I'll see what I can do for next time.
