Earth Day and OK

We celebrated Earth Day with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades this afternoon in the gym. The students took recyclable items (boxes, cans, plastic bottles, etc.) and built a variety of objects including robots, boats, rocket ships, and more. They had a lot of fun. Check out a few photos:

The 2nd graders have also been reading nonstop. We enjoyed a book the other day called The OK Book. We noticed from the book that the letters OK (which we also learned in sign language) when turned sideways looked like a stick person.

The character in the book was "an OK pancake flipper" and "an OK tree climber" among other things. The students made their own journal entries. They looked something like this:

I'm an OK driver

I'm an OK climber.

I'm OK at playing with my dad.

It was fun. They are so creative!

Enjoy the weekend! Good luck to our soccer teams on Saturday.
