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!
When his father can't make it to practice, Michael learns how important rules and laws are in our community today and long ago. Students will be drawn into this treatment of 'Community Rules and Laws' that takes us back to the Old West and explains the need for rules and laws and why they are important in our family, classroom, school, community, state and nation. The process of making laws and the purpose of government are introduced. Responsible citizenship, law enforcement and consequences of not obeying the law are brought home.
Laws are the rules that we make for our community, our state and our country.
