Earth Day 2012

CCOA Steiner Ranch likes to stay active with the community and the current events that pertain to our student's.  In the month of April we are getting knee deep in nature.  Our student's are busy learning how different elements help and support our environment.  We are learning about life cycles  (have you seen our tadpole), how things change, plants, and bugs!  Most importantly, this month, our student's are learning about how to care for our environment!  Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle!

   You may see a few boxes around the hallway to collect recyclable items, take this time to discuss with your child what we can recycle and what we can't and then toss some recyclable items in the boxes.  In addition to recycling we will be planting some flowers!  The student's will learn how plants help the land, air, and animals!  Make sure to take time to check out our garden after it is planted on Friday, April 20th!

   I have included some fun crafts and ideas that you can do at home with your children!
