THE EARTH - We Dig It!

The insects have descnended on Gan Daled.
In celebration of Earth Day, Gan Daled read "Too Much Trash" in our Let's Find Out/Weekly Reader. The magazine contains a graph showing how long it takes for a banana, a sock and a bottle to decompose, The class was excited as they remembered their own experiment to predict how long it will take objects that we "planted" to decompose.

Each child designed a poster for Earth Day describing how they can help our Earth. They love seeing their hard work displayed in our room.

 In recognition of Earth Day, we put the concepts of reusing and recycling to use as the class constructed insects from recyclables. The children remembered that insects have 6 legs, 3 body parts and often fly. They used their creativity and many materials to design their insects. The results were amazing!!
