Le Jour de la Terre

Bonjour!

This week, we celebrated Earth Day. We sang a song called "J'aide la Terre", which has the same tune as "Frère Jacques" nursery rhyme.

Please see below for more details of what we did in each grade.
 
JK:

• We briefly talked about Earth Day. We traced and coloured a picture of our Earth.
• The JKs started on a new unit learning about the different modes of transportation (land, water, air). Students have to sort pictures of vehicles by mode: air "dans le ciel", land "sur la terre", water "sur l'eau".

SK: 

• We talked about what we could do to protect the Earth (e.g recycler, marcher, conserver l'eau...).
• We completed an activity where we wrote one thing we could do to help or protect the Earth and then coloured the Earth.    

 

Grade 1:

• We talked about what we could do to protect the Earth (e.g recycler, marcher, conserver l'eau...).
• We made a mini book that talked about how we can help the Earth. We traced and coloured pictures in the book. After completing our book, we got to read it to a friend.
• We wrote in our journal one thing we could do to protect the Earth and drew a picture.  
• We talked about sorting waste: recycle, poubelle, and compost. Students were presented with pictures of the different types of waste and we tried to figure out where they go.Then, we completed a cut and paste activity on sorting the waste.
