1:00 Arts and Crafts Time with Ms. Mary
Today’s art presentation with Ms. Mary are fun crafts to do for Earth Day which will be on April 22, 2020. She asked the children what are the things they can do to help the earth. The children raised their hands and gave answers like plant a tree, recycle plastic bottles, water plants, plant in the garden, reusing other resources, reduce use by not letting the water run for a long time. Great ideas!
Three things we can remember for Earth Day are REDUCE, RECYCLE, and REUSE.
For our art today, we will me making some fun craft from items that you can find at home.
