Earth Day
/ Aja AppelToday we celebrated Earth Day. We read a story about climate change and ways we can help our planet. Earlier in the week students worked on painting the new planter boxes that are outside our cedar classroom. This afternoon during our ELC Earth Day celebration students and their families brought colorful flowers to add to the boxes. During the celebration families enjoyed planting flowers, creating chalk art, and designing nature mandalas. Families brought snacks to share and had an outdoor picnic in our piazza. During the school day we walked to a campus event that involved decorating the sidewalk outside the UC building with chalk art designs celebrating Earth. We played in the rain, splashed in puddles, and enjoyed fresh baked cookies while sheltering under beautiful trees on campus. We also had an outdoor picnic with the Sea Lions.
