Earth Day Everyday


     Once a year, when Earth Day rolls around, most of us go out of our way to celebrate the Earth. It’s the perfect opportunity to share the wonders of nature. It also gives us the chance to share how to care for our planet with our kids. But, we can celebrate Earth Day every day!
    Inside this pack you’ll find a variety of low-prep Earth Day activities and printables. You can also find some ideas for celebrating our amazing planet all year around. Students should understand that taking care of our world is an important responsibility. One they can begin no matter how old they are. It’s an awesome privilege to look after the world that looks after us so well!
 Sharpen your students’ math skills by using area and perimeter to make Earth Day gardens. Review mixed math skills with these Earth Day themed story problems. Help your students think of ways that they can use helping hands to make our planet a better place. Read about the origins of Earth Day in an informational text with short answer comprehension questions. Create an Everyday Earth Day book about ways they can celebrate this special holiday at home and in the world around them. Dig through the ABCs to create tips to help the Earth in Earth Day A to Z. Collect data, create graphs, and summarize your findings to share how well your students recycle at home.
