Wear ORANGE & Go GREEN
April is National Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. Orange is their official color. As a class, in support of the kind and caring treatment of animals we all wore
In addition, April 22 was Earth Day. Earth Day was created to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. As a class we talked a lot about going green by reducing, recycling and reusing items to help keep our Earth (and community) healthy. We also read "The Lorax" by Dr. Suess. This story helped us learn that we need to conserve the Earth's precious resources.
To help us make real life connection to taking care of our Earth and its’ animals we collected USED items for our local SPCA. We focused on recycling and reusing items that can be found around the house. Some of the things collected were: used towels, rags, blankets, shoe boxes, leashes, water dishes, toys, and newspapers.
Reflections on the day....
We are wearing orange which shows that we love animals. Going green means giving things to the SPCA that we do not use that they can now use. I made a tag that has animals it. I love dogs they are my favorite animal.
SPCA
Today my class is wearing orange and going green. That means we are treating our animals kindly. The going green part is keeping our Earth healthy and clean. We also made tags that show a lot of animals on it. The tag also said SPCA. We all love animals but we all need to treat them kindly.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
