Earth Day is held on the same day each year, April 22nd. This year’s theme is Planets vs. Plastics, which is chosen annually by EarthDay.org. With Earth Day being this upcoming Monday, it creates an ideal opportunity to introduce the Earth Day theme and continue students’ understanding of this theme throughout the week!
With the help of animated landfill characters, students learn about their environment. Natural resources are identified and shown as students learn how important it is to conserve them. They also discover how reducing, reusing, and recycling benefit our environment, and how air and water pollution can hurt it.
Identify natural resources and see how important it is to conserve them.
