Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd each year. Thursday we read The Earth Book, By Todd Parr
At the back of the book, Todd Parr wrote about 10 ways we can help the Earth, and we were inspired to add to it!
1. Use both Sides of the paper (Zoe)
2. Put your underwear in the freezer! So when you get hot, you can get cold again! 🙂 (Aude)
3. Put cans, glass, paper and plastic bottles in Recycling (Anton)
4. Remember to close the freezer and fridge door, so you don’t waste energy – because we love the Polar Bears (Julia)
5. Make sure to turn off the lights when you are going out of the room (Georgia and Charlotte)
6. When you are using a pencil crayon and lead doesn’t come out of it, don’t throw it out. You can use it for a craft. (Mira and Finnley)
7. Turn off the faucet when you are brushing your teeth (Maevyn)
8. Use less water when you go for a bath (Sari)
9. Remember to pick up garbage to help the community, keep your neighborhood clean, pick up recycling and put it in the bin (Julia, Finnley and Quintin)
10. Bring your own bags to the grocery store (Finnley)
11. Plant more trees so the air will be cleaner (Keito)
12. Don’t buy something that is useless or you don’t need (Levi)

14. Drive less, scooter more! (Kennedy)
15. Car Pool (Finnley)
16. Don’t leave your fan on after waking up from sleeping (Finnley)
17. Plant your own food, like fruits and vegetables, so you don’t have to get them from California (Keito and Janna)
18. Walk or ride a bike more and drive less (Luca and Keito)
19. Don’t cut down a live tree just to make boats and paper (Julia)
20. Turn your car off when you are waiting. Don’t idle. (Levi)
Last week our classroom went on a community walk all around Montrse school (Follow us on Instagram to see the full adventure!). We picked up two full bags of garbage. We were shocked at all garbage and the many things that could have been recycled on the sidewalks and grass. We will continue to help the Earth by getting the word out about how important it is to step up and help out!
We hope you are inspired by US and remember some of the ways that YOU can help the Earth. Remember to Celebrate Earth Day, April 22nd!!
