1. Earth Day: We had a busy morning in class rotations from Pre-K to Gr 5, and we learned a lot about sustainability.
LET'S GROW AT ISD!!
Three things we'd like to continue are below:
2. Our Garden Space: Ms. Pam and Ms. Nyah will be heading up the continuing greening of the ISD garden space behind the Pre-K rooms. We'll all be planting flowers next week, and we have re-soiled the area to allow the plants to grow.
3. Our Pledges: Here is what we'll try to do in class to follow-up in a greener way for the rest of the year!
4. Our Waste Free Lunch Can Continue: We hope you might continue to send in waste-free lunches. here are some good sites for reference:
