Many thanks to my students for hosting and implementing a dynamic and fun Earth Day Celebration for the entire school. The students shared endangered animal power points, wrote and read stories, ran recycling relays, played energy games and recreated the rain forest and presented a rain forest reader’s theater. I am also indebted to the many parent volunteers that helped with the stations
