March 18, 2013 FOL Week
By: Bella H.
We recently interviewed first grade about what they were doing for the Festival of Learning. They have been doing so many fun activities to help prevent global warming. First, they cut out and painted life-size versions of paper penguins because their habitat is being destroyed due to global warming. They are also trying to cut down on the amount of paper they use, so they established a "reuse bin" for one sided paper that hasn't been used yet. They are also making picture books about global warming, but with used paper envelopes. The 1st graders are having tons of fun! She says that her favorite part of learning about global warming and taking action is "saving the Earth!"
Interviewed Sarah M:
"They are trying to make it so we don't use as much paper. They have a reuse bin for one sided paper that hasn't been used. They are trying to save the earth. Her favorite part is that they are making books about the earth with paper envelopes that have already been used. They make life sized penguins.
