Earth Day Unit

 
Our Earth Day unit began by reading “A Mr. Rubbish Mood.” This led to discussions about how we can save our Earth and make it a better place to live. From there, students wanted to persuade other classes to join them in their efforts to “save the world.” We discussed persuasive writing and shared examples, including student examples and real life commercials/ads. Students made a difference starting in their school environment by choosing to either pick up litter or plant flowers. The students were successful in persuading others because other classes have responded by writing letters, making videos, sharing what they will do at home, and/or planting flowers to help our Earth. We are so proud of our 3rd graders!!!!!
