Don't miss the collection of environmental education activities SJ submitted to the Teachers.Net Lessons Bank, and which we posted in the Teachers.Net Gazette in time for Earth Day!
The activities are suitable for any time of year, not just Earth Day, but most are short and simple enough to implement on Earth Day 2009, even if you already have other activities planned. Don't forget to check out the printable Earth Day resources in the Printables section of the Gazette! And a huge collection of lessons and activities in the April Lessons & Resources section!
Victoria BaileyWe have created a resource bank of free resources (instructions and video clips) for use by teachers, to encourage the teaching of outdoor and environmental games. Please feel free to visit the website:

for Earth day, i was going to recyle a bunch of our left over construction paper and make recyled paper. then the students were going to write ecology based poems and use the calligraphy pens to transfer the poems onto their paper.
I just wonder if anyone has made paper before. If so, can you give me some pointers? Thanks.
For Earth Day this year we teamed up with our local grocery store. They gave us enough paper bags for each of our students and they all decorated them with our school's name along with the words recylce, reduce, and reuse. The students had a blast and the customers really enjoyed them.

Collect them all. I ran a wire from one wall to another. Use a hook and loop wire on one end. Put all the tabs on the wire. Keep count....see what 100, 1000 10,000 look like. In the South they used paperclips to show how many people were lost in the holocaust. But you can use any number of numbers. Photograph, post and then donate to one of the charities (I think Ronald McDonald House still takes them). 600 you are on your way!
If students all over the globe sing his song, their voices together can raise world awareness about the climate change.
Students from five continents have joined kidEarth in song already.
The more students who sing Aitan's song, the bigger kidEarth's impact will be.
The notes, lyrics and instrumental tracks to “100 Generations’” chorus are on kidEarth’s website ([link removed].
Interested? If so, please take this project to your school and spread the word. Also, be sure to email kidEarth the names of schools and groups (and their towns) which sing so they can be mentioned on kidEarth’s website. [email removed].
More information about it is on kidEarth's website ([link removed]).
