Earth Day Activities 22 IV 20

Happy Earth Day! Remember to always be kind to the Earth.

Today is Day 40 of our stay-at-home time.

Keep reading to learn a word game and how to make art out of empty cans!



MAKING WORDS

1. Write the word EARTH in big letters on a piece of paper and then cut the letters apart.

2. Move the letters around to make new words. How many words (real words, not made up ones) can you make?

3. Sort the words into 5-letter, 4-letter, 3-letter and 2-letter words.

Here's your first word...did you see that one? Can you find more than ten?

POEM COOPERATIVE ART

Please remember to write and colour your words from our class poem on a piece of paper and email the photo to me. I will put all the words together in a photo collage of the whole poem and post it to the blog when I get everyone's photos. (You can find the instructions on the 17 IV 20 blog post.)

EARTH DAY ART



You can reuse empty metal cans to make holders for pencils, spoons or anything you want. If the can has a plastic lid you can make a treasure box!

Here is how to do it:

1. You will need an empty can. Soup cans and cans that had vegetables or beans in them are a good size. Sometimes cans of nuts will have a plastic lid. Make sure the empty can is clean and dry.

2.  Get some paper from a magazine or decorate some scrap paper.  (I coloured in the spaces on some lined paper to make horizontal stripes. On another piece of paper I doodled some zentangles.)

3. Match up the bottom edge of the can to one edge of the paper. Use a pencil to draw a line where the top of the can edge is and then cut along that line. The paper will be shaped like a rectangle.

4. Tape one of the short edges of the paper rectangle to the can, wrap the paper around the can and tape the other edge in place.

5. Put some pencils or whatever you want in your decorated container!
