Celebrating the Earth April 23-27

We’ve got the whole world in our hands

We’ve got the whole world in our hands

We’ve got the whole world in our hands

We’ve got the whole world in our hands.

 

We have to help take care of our beautiful earth and all of the creatures that live here.

Those on land...

in deserts...

ponds...

and oceans...

Panda Bear, Panda Bear by Eric Carle

presents animals that are in danger of becoming extinct.

We colored pictures of our favorite animals.

Fingerpaints were used to create our world. We fingerpainted blue for the water and stamped green handprints for the land.

Riding a bicycle or walking when possible helps take care of our world. We practiced riding a bicycle as we sang:

I have a little bicycle,

I ride it to and fro

And when I see that big green light,

I know it’s time to go.

I have a little bicycle,

I bought it at the shop

And when I see that big red light

I know it’s time to stop!

The book, Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney, told of the "lupine lady" who traveled the world, lived in a house by the sea, and planted lupine seeds to make the world more beautiful.

We can plant a flower to make our world a more beautiful place!
