Earth Day and Recycling Resource Round-Up

Earth Day is just around the corner.  The idea of stewardship and taking care of our natural resources is one of the most important things we need to teach our students about. We learn about and practice recycling all year, but giving a little extra attention to this topic this month is always nice.  Here are some Earth Day and recycling resources you may find helpful in your classroom.

Recycling Centers

I always love this time of year because my students are pretty independent with their math and literacy centers.  I can put review activities in the tubs and they love them!

We also do a lot of writing this time of year, so this Earth Day and Recycling word list is available as a resource in our literacy centers.

We will also add to our interactive notebooks.  You can read more about our recycling pages here.
