Earth Day

Help me give my students books for Earth Day, hands on earthquake kits, and floor cushions for collaborative science lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Payette's classroom raised $954

My Project

My students care about the environment through many at-school activities including composting and recycling. They are curious and loving toward animals, plants, and others. I have included a variety of picture books for Earth Day, our environment, conservation, and teaching students so they are responsible, caring, strong individuals.

I have also included an earthquake kit to go with our landforms science unit.

In science, it’s helpful for my students to work collaboratively in groups, and the floor cushion seats will allow that flexibility more comfortably. Additionally, I’ve included some dot markers so students can have fun making Earth Day creations.
