What is Earth day and why do we celebrate it ?! The very first Earth day was celebrated in the US on April 22, 1970. It became a global event in 1990 mobilizing 20 million people to encourage people to recycle and encourage environmental protections. Some things we did to celebrate Earth day at AOFC are classrooms each planted seeds that when in bloom attract hummingbirds, our PS 2 classroom is recycling plastic bottles to re use them for sensory bottles and finally the PS 2 kids have caterpillars that are going to build a chrysalis so they can turn into butterflies! Reduce, Re use and Recycle as well as planting a garden or trees are all ways to help the Earth and our kids at AOFC loved being a part of helping save the Earth with our really cool Earth day grab and go!
