Earth Day 2012

Earth Day is just around corner. We are preparing to share our learning at our Earth Day celebration. It is going to be lots of fun hearing about what other grade levels have be doing to learn about conservation and sustainability. I hope you are all as excited as I am to see the presentations. I hope you are also giving thought to celebrating in your own way at your house as you pass on to your friends and family what you have learned about taking care of the earth.

Students Enjoy the Frog Bog

The Frog Bog
By Mahayla H.
Last week, my class went to the frog bog behind my school. I saw big, round, brown stumps that looked like seats. I sat on one of them to make my observations. I saw a baby blue bird. He was sitting up in a tree branch. There was a green frog under the water. I also saw little fish swimming around in the water. I heard lots of things. I heard crickets. They sounded like tires squeaking.
I heard animals walking behind the trees. They sounded like leaves crunching. I heard the wind blowing through the trees. It sounded like a big wave crashing as the leaves hit the branches and each other. I felt the nice cool breeze blowing on me. I also felt the itchy grass brushing against my legs. I smelled flowers that smelled like strawberries. The frog bog was a beautiful place that day. I can’t wait to visit it again.
