🌎 Celebrating Earth Day!
Mrs. Alexander’s first-grade class spent time caring for our environment by cleaning up trash around the playground and pond. We also gathered in the pavilion to read an Earth Day book and talk about ways we can help take care of our planet.
We even spotted a goose protecting her eggs—she wasn’t too sure about us being nearby, but it was a great reminder of how animals care for their homes too!
Small actions can make a big difference 💚
