Earth Day

So, in honor of Earth Day, the students actually decided to keep our lights off in our room all day, very interesting day in the dark. We watched the "Story on Stuff" and of course did some Earthy Day math problems, and even went around the muddy, school grass and picked up trash.

Just in case you need some good Earth Day tips, Here are a few ways that my students committed to going green today...
-I will not long for more things. (good one.)
-If something breaks use it for something else
-grab a few napkins not a lot
-I will plant plants
-stop homework (I didn't agree with that!)
-use biodegradable substances
-use cloth and towels instead of papertowels
-buy fresh vegetables instead of canned
-use a fan, rather than air conditioner
-unplug your computer, tv, and electronics to save energy
-don't drive to short distances that you can ride your bike or walk to
-shop less
