What is YOUR Carbon Footprint?

Today's Social Studies lesson focused on our personal carbon footprint. We learned that the smaller our "footprint", the better. We learned all of the things we do that make our footprint bigger (use disposable water bottles and paper plates, driving everywhere, using a lot of electricity, for example) and what we can do to reduce our carbon footprint (ride our bike instead of drive, use less water, download video games rather than purchase the package at the store). Then we traced our footprints and listed one way to reduce our footprint. We finished by illustrating our example. They had great ideas!
It's Spirit Wear day tomorrow (with uniform bottoms). Also, our ice cream field trip is Friday afternoon. Pray for good weather!

Lastly, starting on Friday we're going to start bringing things home: projects, supplies, etc. We'll send a little home each day so that they are not overloaded on the last day of school. Please feel free to send bags to school with your child so we can start sending things home.
