We have you covered for all your Earth Day Reading and Writing Tasks!
Earth Day is the 22nd June and we make a big deal of this day, We also make a big deal of the strategies we decide on everyday to help heal our planet. We feel that it is our responsibility as caretakers of our planet to make sure we leave it in a better place for future generations.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed and think – but what can I do to make a difference?
Well, we all need to do the little things to make the big things happen. It is always a surprise to me what our kids feel and think about what we are doing to our planet and the resources we have taken from it. They have great ideas about the processes we have in place or not have in place to stop pollution and degradation of our planet. We just need to listen to them.
We have worked hard on putting together some Earth Day Reading and Writing Tasks for you to use to get this thinking process started.
