My absolute favorite preschool speech-language theme of all time is "Earth Day"! First of all, instead of making new group sound targets, the student's most needed sound target is "recycled" to each individuals need. We review ways to take care of this planet, celebrate the beauty of the outdoors and get to do goofy things with "garbage".
Check out the "Clutter Bug" creation below, composed of all the scrap wrappers left from snack time. The kids get quite a kick out of these unique creations.
We practice our recycling skills with a "Recyclable Toss" into the blue bin, while singing an Earth Day ditty.
It goes something like this:
"Reuse, Reduce, Recycle... Three words we all know.
We have to save the planet... So we can live a grow.
We might be only children... But we can help you'll see.
And we can clean the planet... It starts with you and me!"
Check out the little bit of earth that made its way into my office this month. Thanks to a thoughtful husband on the date of our 14th wedding anniversary :)
And here is my son modeling his newly fashioned Jet Pack... composed of 99% reused items out of our home's recycle bin.
It can be easy and fun to be green!
