LET'S

CELEBRATE
OUR EARTH
Parents,

This week we want to introduce a project that will not only help us celebrate
Earth Day, it will give your child a broad range of learning activities in one PBL
activity. Inside this packet find everything you need to lead your child through
learning about how to save our earth through recycling, reusing, and
reducing waste. This covers all subject areas: Math, ELA, Science, and
Social Studies. Seesaw.com is still available for other assignments, if you so
choose to take advantage of the additional learning activities we have
provided.

Completed projects can be uploaded to your child's folder on Seesaw.com

using Powerpoint or google slides, a video, audio clip, pictures, or by
completing the attached guides in this packet. Please use all academic days
this week to work on your project and submit completed work by Friday.

If you have any questions or need guidance in helping your child complete
this PBL, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's homeroom
teacher.

We can't wait to see your finished PBLs on Friday as we all work to save our
earth!

Much Love,
The Kindergarten Team
