Say No to Plastic!

Today our scientists decorated their canvas bag to help promote saving the environment by saying "NO" to plastic. We learned from Mr. Montoya and Ms. Tania's presentation that people, inevitably and unknowingly are doing many things that are harming our environment. For example, wasting paper, not turning off lights and TV, littering, leaving the water tab running while brushing teeth, and using too much plastic. You will find your child bringing home a beautiful canvas bag with a environmental message that he/she came up with. Ask them what they learned from our guest speakers this week, and you will be amazed! Don't be surprised if they forbid you using plastic bags and cutlery! = ) These kids are getting more and more environmental friendly now!

Inside their bag, you will also find a Living Things research booklet. If you and your family are traveling out and about in Oman or other countries, encourage your child to jot down and draw the living things they see around them. We brainstormed a whole list of living things - from things as small as ants, spiders, butterflies, lizards, to bigger creatures like birds, turtles, and even bigger like camels and whales.We look forward to sharing our journal after the holidays.
