Gwendolyn and I did a fun project today for Earth Day. She made a globe using paper mache. When it hardens, she will paint it and add all appropriate geographical images and parts to make it look like the Earth. We did some research to find ways to celebrate Earth day, to know what it promotes, and discover new ways to preserve, conserve, recycle and protect the earth and its resources. We read about alternate sources of energy - wind farms, solar power, and climate change and global warming. She will attach a message to her Earth and hang it from our ceiling in time for earth day later this month. We watched a short video about climate change. We continued with U.S. History in the textbook to learn more about the time period between World War I and II - the boom and the bust, the roaring twenties and the great depression.
