Another busy week!

Dear Parents,

We had another busy week of school after Winter break.

We have been studying how people's actions affect the Earth, the students are learning about recycling and conserving resources. The students have been carefully collecting their trash this week and putting it in their bags. We've seen how trash is cluttering the Earth and causing harm to the environment, people and animals. 
We discussed the book, "The Lorax", by Dr. Seuss and the students wrote how they would help the Earth. 

On Friday, the students investigated the types of trash they were disposing throughout the week - plastic, metal, wood, paper, styrofoam and other. They counted each type and graphed the results. I wonder why we use so much plastic...?

We went to visit the pre-schoolers who were sharing their Shape Fair. The first graders enjoyed asking questions and seeing how much the little ones knew. 

Please take care as many students are coming down with the cold or flu. Make sure to dress warmly, drink plenty of fluids, wash your hands and get proper sleep at night.

Have a lovely weekend!
Kind Regards,
Ms. Ramani
