The Moonbeam Classroom is celebrating Earth Day! To gather a better understanding of our planet, the children all took turns investigating a variety of maps. They learned about the two major physical features on earth, landforms and bodies of water. In addition, the Moonbeam friends participated in a hands-on categorizing activity, exploring where living creatures exist (fish in the ocean, people on land). Conservation, of course, was a giant springboard for exploration. The girls and boys embarked on a scavenger hunt, identifying items in the classroom that have a code and symbol for recycling. Later, students helped teachers sort through waste for our weekly trip to the campus recycle bin. The Moonbeam Classroom is always thinking green!
