Today is Earth Day and the children are very excited to celebrate. They have been learning about how they can help our planet by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling. We are having a litterless lunch today and will be cleaning up our playground. The children are keen to learn about the environment and want to do their part. A good website to visit is www.ecokids.ca It has a lot of good information and talks about what others students are doing in Canada. There are aslo some free videos on www.brainpopjr.com that talk about the Earth. Check them out!   Happy Spring!   Spring is a great time to explore our 5 Senses. There are so many changes to see, smell, feel and hear. We explored our sense of taste yesterday with a yummy taste test. We tested our taste buds with sweet, sour and salty foods and had fun! We will be finishing this unit soon. We have finished with all Zoophonics animals and sounds and are now combining sounds to read and spell words. We are also working on the "th", "sh" and "ch" sounds.
